The Block
desert INK
Creating exciting places that enhance lives. Specializing in Landscape Architecture.
desert INK’s competition entry for this 400m long creekside park was selected by a major Dubai developer, resulting in a commission to carry out the full landscape, architecture, and MEP design services for the project. This innovative park is designed on an exceptionally low budget and is entirely recyclable due to the developer’s intention to develop the plot within the next 5 years.
desert INK’s typically innovative approach saw the incorporation of huge concrete keystones into the park, creating climbing walls, artistic installations, retaining walls, and exercise stations. Earmarked for landfill, the keystones were turned from an eyesore and site obstruction, into a prime defining asset by desert INK’s fresh thinking. The park also features desert INK’s design for a ‘warehouse’ structure which integrates small-scale commercial ‘incubator’ pods to promote home-grown food and beverage or retail offerings.

2 年Having Led this development from the Master developer side from inception to handover, I must say the efforts spent by both desert ink and Proscape have proven the unique and quick capability of turning vision to reality. The block remains to be a very unique urban park that can create an example of active spaces within living neighbourhoods.
