Project Objectives/ Outcomes:

Al Naseem is a mixed-use water front development within the master planned Diyar Al Muharraq community in Bahrain. This unique development is envisaged as a premier marine lifestyle development with villas and apartments overlooking outer and inner canals. Other components of the project include amenities like Retail, Promenade, Marina Yacht Club and a Boutique Hotel along with a seafront view.

ByrneLooby were tasked with providing technical inputs in the development of the masterplan, design of the internal canals, lock gate and water recirculation system. The canals were designed as a hybrid wall which included using precast concrete blocks placed on a rubble mound. The hybrid wall was proposed as a smart solution to optimise the plot size whilst ensuring safe navigation and adjacent berthing.
