- Scope
Battoyor Compound is intended as a safe and intimate community haven for local and expatriate residents. The project is arranged in a low density spread in groups of terraced rows, each enjoying a dedicated communal garden and the feeling of belonging to a neighborhood community. A variety of residential units is offered, from small studios and one bedroom units, to larger family apartments and individual town houses, all of which are endowed with privacy, transparency, natural light and ventilation. A prominent gate identifies the entrance to the compound from the main road and opens onto a central linear park with lush vegetation and water features. A peripheral green belt wraps around the project as a buffer zone, shielding it from the noise and pollution of the surrounding streets. Leisure and recreational facilities including a clubhouse, a swimming pool and tennis courts, are intentionally isolated to the side of the project in order to protect the residential units from loud gatherings and the bright projector lights of the tennis courts at night. The concept of modernity and its expression in the architecture draws from the merger between the Saudi culture and that of the international community of expatriates.
