03Masterplan Evolution

How did the masterplan take shape?

The idea began with access — organizing the way into the site — then turned the entrance toward the sea and tied the waterfront together with one continuous promenade, before distributing the uses across flexible plots, developed in phases.

Access
1AccessA new road links the site's two entrances and organizes movement along its length.
Entrance and Marina
2Entrance and MarinaAn entrance opening onto the sea, fronted by the marina and the events area.
Promenade and Beach
3Promenade and BeachOne continuous waterfront joining the promenade, the beach, and the main buildings.
Plots and Phases
4Plots and PhasesUses arranged flexibly, so each part is developed in its own phase.

04Architectural Character

Jazan's architecture, Farasan's nature.

Residences and offices

Around shaded courtyards.

Residential buildings gather around planted courtyards, while offices open onto arcades and retail frontages — bringing home, work, and daily life together in one destination.

A sikka for daily life.

The sikka (a shaded market lane) revives the fabric of Jazan's old quarters, bringing strolling, shopping, and gathering into one space.

05A Tour of the Destination

One shore, three rhythms.

Three experiences that move from the energy of the retail sikka and the marina to the calm of the resort.

07Climate Comfort

Designed for Jazan's summer.

Shaded paths link the destination, punctuated by air-conditioned cooling points inside perforated structures that lower the surrounding temperature by around 5–10°C — making movement more comfortable through the summer months.
