What's this?
In the beginning, was the word. And the word was Flamingo
In the beginning, was the word. And the word was Flamingo. The story begins with a name rethought and is already loved by the client. That's how we learned more about the strange and beautiful bird this year than flamingo ornithologists.
But we still know more about housing. We have a special relationship with him. Through our love to housing projects was born oriental handsome building.
Residential complex "Flamingo" has 2 floors of parking, 4 floors of apartments and a health club on the roof with a gym and a swimming pool.
Location
Situational diagram indicating the site
Dubai. By the way, this child of the desert is a very green city. Builders raised dust in the Meydan area near the world's largest hippodrome, where kings and queens from all countries flock to watch the races. The iconic Meydan Grandstand is one of Dubai's landmarks. Our windows look at this landmark. And on the other hand - a view of the center of Dubai, with a recognizable highlight of the UAE, Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
The Meydan area is the center of the new business, sports and entertainment center of Dubai, which spread its sands 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 4 km from the bay. It is a place where the worlds of business, sports and the cosmopolitan complement each other in an unprecedented way. Meydan is new living standards, inspiring business culture and stunning entertainment!

Local climate
The climate and the local way of life gave us some restrictions. Desert. What to take from it? Hot, dusty, high water table, salt in the air, hot, humid, hot, hot. Oh yes, it's hot in there. But! A big advantage of the local climate for architecture is that it rains here a couple of times a year. There are also no freeze-thaw cycles. What we have destroys all facings, which are less expensive in the first place. A paradise for finishes, and even more so for their adhesive bases!

What are the design features in Dubai?
Each developer must comply with the urban planning concept from the master developer of the given area, the prescribed height of the building, each floor, as well as the type of balconies, walls, windows, doors and other architectural elements. All of them should be in a single concept.
Here we are allowed to erect 5 levels mixed-use buildings and with an unlimited number of underground floors. Norms and rules are not more complicated, not simpler. Logical. The same evacuation, the same fire regulations. But for example, it is forbidden to open windows at all. And also the central ventilation and air conditioning system are common, in Ukraine, it is difficult to do this. We are all fighting the rape of terraces with ventilation ducts.
You can criticize motorization, wide multi-lane roads, and the lack of sidewalks for a long time, but you won’t survive in Dubai otherwise. And everyone moves mostly in their cars. This is reflected in the design with special attention to parking spaces. There is also no wardrobe at the entrance. Well, of course, no one wears fur coats.

What materials do the locals use?
The main rule is that the materials must have local certification. BUT! Main! Try to use those that will look good with sand dust, mostly sandy shades or low-porous materials that do not accumulate dust. They also have very cool granites. In general, their stone has a completely different pricing policy, it is far from one of the expensive materials.
Why such architecture of the building?
The corner house is a kind of town-planning marker
Everything is simple! First, is the corner lot. And this means that the composition on the facade develops starting from the corner because a person will observe this angle most often. The corner house is a kind of town-planning marker, so we hope that in the future our landmark for navigation will help you orient yourself in the space of the vast Emirate.
Secondly, the theme of a beautiful bird touches the facade with its wing and leaves some "feathers" on elevations in form of decorative elements.

What is interesting in the building organization?
A typical floor is cut as efficiently as possible, taking into account future sales. Parking for 53 cars. Two floors: -1 and Ground Floor.
In this area a house is handover with apartments almost ready for habitation (bring in a sofa and live), in this project we have 43 apartments.
According to local regulations, the 5th floor cannot be used for apartments, so the 5th floor is the Health Club with a pool area, gym, mini spa, sunbathing area overlooking the Meydan complex and downtown Dubai.
Each corner of the Flamingo residential complex is abundantly landscaped, drip irrigation is mandatory.
Also, according to local regulations, it is regulated to hide engineering equipment. In our country, it sits quietly behind the facade frames and metal blinds.
The location of the pool is dictated by less liquid square meters on the floor below, "looking" at the neighbor. Yes, there will be a pumping station.
We design and develop the design of residential and public buildings worldwide using 3D modeling, BIM technologies, and energy-efficient solutions. We also develop brand concepts for objects and accompany the approvals. www.en.zaaz.com.ua
