Perched 650 metres above sea level, the plans for The Mount included a blend of apartments, townhouses, villas, a 5-star hotel with hotel apartments, and vibrant social and retail spaces. Spanning 800,000m2, the development was planned in two phases. With sustainability and wellbeing central to the vision, every effort was made to ensure the buildings seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings.
Involved from the feasibility stage, our team played a key role in developing design strategies and the masterplan concept, collaborating closely with Oman’s Ministry of Tourism. Given the site's unique location, accessibility posed a challenge, which our team overcame by embracing innovative construction methods and sustainable infrastructure solutions.
Lee French, Partner and Managing Director MENA commented: "Cundall’s core values were evident throughout the project, from our holistic approach to engineering challenges to our unwavering commitment to respecting the natural beauty of the site and embedding sustainability at the heart of the development.."
Close collaboration between the design team and the client resulted in the success of this ambitious and complex mountain development.
