DDG was the design architect for Akasya, a mixed use master plan that transforms a former factory site into an iconic development. A large elliptical landscaped park unifies the Akasya site, providing literal and intuitive connections between three zoned parcels. Surrounded by shops, restaurants, and pedestrian pathways, Central Park functions as a natural transition between residential components and the retail and entertainment center to the south. Residential offerings include high-rise residential towers anchoring the northern and southern ends of the project. The dramatic southern tower sits atop the shopping center and creates a defining reference point; a visual and conceptual sight-corridor into the project from adjacent highways.
