Arancia Yards by Beyond at City of Arabia

Master Plan

The Arancia Yards masterplan at City of Arabia reflects Beyond’s conviction that the relationship between the apartment buildings and their outdoor landscape environment is the most important single masterplanning decision a residential developer makes, because it is the decision that most directly and most persistently shapes the daily experience of every resident from the moment they step outside their apartment door to the moment they return to it. The Yards concept, whose generous, richly planted, and carefully orchestrated outdoor spaces create a sequence of garden environments whose quality runs through the entire community without interruption or dilution, is the masterplanning philosophy whose implementation is visible in the development’s imagery and whose daily experiential quality will be the most consistently appreciated dimension of living in this community.

The building arrangement within the Arancia Yards masterplan creates the courtyard and garden environments that give the community its most distinctive spatial character, with the buildings positioned to frame and define outdoor rooms of genuine quality rather than simply to occupy the maximum possible site coverage and leave the residual spaces between them to be landscaped as an afterthought. The human scale of the development, whose buildings whose height, massing, and facade character are visible in the imagery as a considered response to the landscape setting rather than an imposition upon it, creates the sense of a residential community whose outdoor environments are genuinely comfortable and genuinely inviting rather than dominated by the scale of the buildings that surround them.

The landscape design running through the Arancia Yards masterplan at the scale of the individual courtyard garden, the community pathway, the water feature, and the planted buffer between the development and the broader City of Arabia surroundings, reflects Beyond’s investment in the outdoor quality of the residential environment as a non-negotiable dimension of the product standard rather than a variable whose budget is determined by what remains after the buildings and their interior specifications are fully funded.
