Sharjah's District 11 masterplan developed by HWKN is envisioned as a 'work resort' featuring offices, cafes, childcare, healthcare facilities, and a mosque.
HWKN used AI-generated prompts informed by research into Sharjah's climate and urban morphology to shape the massing, shading strategies, and spatial configurations of the eleven buildings in the masterplan.
The focus of District 11 is to prioritize collaboration, walkability, and thermal comfort in office neighborhoods by embedding AI into the conceptual framework of the project.
Commissioned by Al Marwan Real Estate Development Group, District 11 integrates work, leisure, and wellness with its porous edges, shaded courtyards, interconnected public spaces, and central boulevard while reflecting the cultural values of the UAE.
