Nakheel, a Dubai World company, today launched Al Hejaz, the third style of home available in the first phase of family-oriented residential community, Al Furjan.

Inspired by traditional Arabic architecture, the Al Hejaz Style follows on from the successful launch of existing designs, the Dubai, a favoured local architectural style, and the Quortaj, a fusion of Islamic and Mediterranean architecture. Al Hejaz style homes include the mashrabiya, a traditional intricately carved porch as well as decorative panels and stylised arches, creating residences of striking beauty and elegance.

Engineer Mohammed Rashed Bin Dhabeah, Director of Al Furjan, said:

“From the area of the same name that predates the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the Al Hejaz Style home has been inspired by the warm architectural notes along the Red Sea coast, with their earth tones of oranges and browns, and offers residents an intricately crafted home reminiscent of those located in one of the region's most regarded areas.

“The well-planned feel of the villas and terraced homes combined with spacious landscaped pathways, make Al Furjan's beautiful homes the embodiment of calm and tranquillity. Schools, individual neighbourhood centres and amenities make it ideal for family living.''

Al Furjan combines 3, 5, and 6 bedroom villas and 3 bedroom terraced homes with open spaces for children and families to interact. Innovative design details are incorporated in every aspect of the development; from the creative use of community spaces to the interior choices, which are easily adapted for Western or Arabic living. Residents may choose from a selection of home styles on different plot sizes which will result in more diverse streetscapes.

Al Furjan comprises of four communities, each will be defined by their individual neighbourhood centre. Boasting more than 4,000 elegant homes complemented by an abundance of open spaces and a multitude of amenities, Al Furjan is a new model for community living.
