Graphic composition for a creative hotspot

05. Sep 2024

The Makers District on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi is set to quite literally rise above the norm. This area is being developed into a creative hotspot, conceived as a counterpoint to the typical residential and commercial buildings found locally. Within sight of the cultural melting pot with its groundbreaking architecture on the neighbouring Saadiyat Island, a new high-rise complex has been completed by the internationally renowned Dutch firm MVRDV. The project’s name speaks for itself: ‘Pixel’. The classical cuboid form of the seven high-rises is fragmented in a pixelated style, breaking down into small, colourful cubes that converge towards a central plaza. This design flourish is accentuated by elements from MOEDING. Façade sections are adorned with innovative brick screens in 14 pastel shades, defining a distinctive character and subtly referencing the site’s history.
