Sobha Hartland Tranquility at MBR City Masterplan

Key to maintaining a comfortable environment both inside and outside of Tranquility Forest Villa Plots at MBR City, and to minimizing the load placed on air conditioning systems, is passive solar control. Careful consideration should be given to the orientation of buildings, and to their form and materiality. Shading structures and devices such as screens, brise soleil, overhangs, and louvers should be integrated harmoniously into building facades and not appear as afterthoughts.

External lighting of Tranquility Forest Villa Plots should be designed in such a way as to highlight the architectural features of the building, not as a feature in itself. Lighting should be neutral in color and designed and installed so as to minimize overspill and light pollution. Lighting sources should be recessed or concealed. Care must be taken to ensure that the external lighting of any project does not adversely affect the users of neighboring buildings, public spaces, or roads. Brightly colored, color-changing, or animated external lighting schemes will not be approved.
