Majid Al Futtaim Communities, a part of UAE-based Majid Al Futtaim Properties, has announced that its key development, The Pavilion at Tilal Al Ghaf Sales & Experience Centre, has won the Regional Award in Asia category at this year's BREEAM Awards held in London. 

 

Located on the banks of the Lagoon Al Ghaf, The Pavilion's floor-to-ceiling glass façade allows for exceptional views across the crystal waters of the premium resort-style community's stunning recreational lagoon.

 

Featuring a floating curved roof and with ample use of organic materials, the building is not only aesthetically pleasing but harnesses biophilic design principles to connect seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. 

 

Currently utilised as a sales and experience centre, The Pavilion will become a vibrant hub where residents and guests can gather to enjoy a year-round calendar of inspiring arts, cultural and social events. 

 

As the first Zero Positive Building in the region, The Pavilion successfully addresses the sustainable use of natural resources and the reduction of carbon emissions, while providing an exceptional quality of life and high standards of comfort for employees and visitors alike.

 

Described by the independent judging panel as being "emblematic of successfully striking the right balance between cutting-edge aesthetic design and an unerring commitment to environmental standards", the Pavilion at Tilal Al Ghaf – Sales and Experience Centre stands as a benchmark for sustainable design for the UAE and beyond. 

 

The project embodies the unique lifestyle proposition offered by the wider Tilal Al Ghaf community, Majid Al Futtaim Communities' flagship destination in Dubai. 

 

As Dubai's first BREEAM interim certified project, Tilal Al Ghaf adheres to a development approach rooted in human-centric design and robust sustainability standards to deliver an exceptional quality of life and great experiences every day.  

 

Majid Al Futtaim Communities remains committed to sustainable living and the excellent BREEAM rating for 'the region's first Zero Positive Building' was a proof of this, said a company spokesman.
