01 / The concept

A park
on the sea.

A seafront park for Jazan on a strip of land between the Red Sea and the city road. A promenade follows the rock revetment along the water; behind it the land opens into garden rooms — an amphitheatre plaza, family lawns with timber cabins, a pool garden — anchored by a glass restaurant tower on its own round plaza. Along the road a long timber shop arcade with a shaded terrace closes the park and faces the parking.

My role

The master plan, the seafront promenade, the pavilions, kiosks and shop arcade, the landscape and the visualisations were prepared by Mohamed Bider for AMSY Group.

02 / Location

On the Jazan
seafront.

The park sits on the Red Sea edge of Jazan, on a long strip between the water and a city road. The heat and humidity of the coast shape the plan: shade, sea breeze and evenings by the water.
