The submissions were judged by an independent panel that included Jill Keene, Former Editor of International Property and Travel Magazine, Victoria Taylor current Editor of International Property & Travel Magazine and Del Hossain, Managing Director of the Adrem Group, London.
The judging focuses on many aspects of the High-Rise Residential Development, including the development design, quality, service, innovation, originality, and commitment to sustainability. Onyx Bahrain Bay was able to win due to its uniqueness in many of these aspects. The project is being developed by Kooheji Contractors, one of Bahrain’s top leading real estate developers with 50 years of experience in delivering World-Class projects. The company comprises of a design team with unique in-house capabilities and full-fledged project management structural design and build that achieves premium quality finishes at the best value proposition.
Moreover, Onyx Bahrain Bay project is located in a strategic location at “Bahrain Bay”, which is a global business, leisure and lifestyle destination that uniquely combines relaxation and Luxury in the heart of the Capital and at the entrance of Bahrain Bay offering easy access to Bahrain Airport, King Fahad highway and Bahrain’s top shopping destinations, the Avenues and Moda Mall.
Many nearby outdoor leisure destinations are also at a walking distance from Bahrain Bay; The Park, The Wharf and five-star hotels including Wyndham Hotel and Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay.
The architectural design illustrates the architectural language used in the towers with the façade and renders of the project, explaining the blends with the surrounding context, and the fully glazed façade that offers a strong connection with the views of the site from all directions.
Additionally, the curvilinear layout of the building enforces the options of maximizing the views and creates a unique outline for the project. Each residential apartment’s view in the project is considered whether it’s a sea view over Bahrain Bay, Reef Island, panoramic view over Manama’s Skyline or Fourseasons Hotel Bahrain Bay view.
Residential apartments inOnyx Bahrain Bay project provide a variety of layouts and sizes with customized unique layouts to cater to every luxury need ranging from 1 bedroom, 2 and 3.5-bedrooms apartment with 220 sqm built-up area and 4 – 5 Bedrooms SkyVillas from 300 – 500 sqm built-up area.
Moreover, it has the largest Penthouses in Bahrain Bay that provide luxury, privacy and exclusivity with each Penthouse spreading over two floors and 650 sqm built-up area, to offer exclusive top-of-the-line furnishing, generous outdoor areas and its own private pools.
The different layouts developed with two themes created by top international award-winning interior designers for ONYX Bahrain Bay apartments.
In addition to the site layout and the placement of units with detailed units’ designs, appearance and finishes, the judges also look into the project marketing campaigns, local newspapers news coverage, social media communications of the project and its photography/videography milestone archival.
Moreover, details of the safety, security sustainability and innovation methods used in the project were highlighted to showcase the cutting-edge latest technology and methods used in the construction of Onyx Bahrain Bay project.
Achieving unique value proposition through a great understanding of Onyx Bahrain Bay project’s needs while using its extensive capability, Kooheji Development achieved sustainability by implementing technical solutions at the early design stage to reduce environmental impact while limiting operational expenses. This includes the block installation method using lightweight materials made from all-natural fine ingredients that contribute greatly to minimise the construction duration as installation of the blocks is faster than conventional concrete wall systems. Projects constructed with lightweight blocks are safe, as its walls have a fire rating of more than four (4) hours and is also earthquake resilient. Its excellent thermal efficiency also reduces energy cost. This product is eco-friendly too.
We also applied thermal aluminium system, a technology that helps reinforcing polyamide bar between the inside and outside aluminium profiles, creating an insulated barrier within the window frame. This will conduct heat, cold and noise a thousand times slower than standard aluminium. By installing thermally double-glazed windows and doors, we are able to stop noise by up to 80% and keep Onyx Apartments cooler during the hot Bahrain summers.
(It conducts heat and noise 1000 times slower than normal aluminium- Repeated). The systems are also flame retardant, enhance security, low maintenance, long-lasting with higher durability, and non-corrosive.
In addition, while considering heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) are as vital to a building as lungs are to a human being, these systems employ complex networks of air handlers, compressors, cooling towers and other equipment to make sure that the air inside a building is clean, conditioned and comfortable. But running all of that equipment consumes a lot of energy.
Renewable energy and smart technology are making these systems more sustainable than ever before, consuming less energy while promoting healthier indoor and outdoor environments.
The AC water is also used for gardening Onyx Bahrain Bay landscape to achieve an efficient and sustainable system that benefits Onyx Bahrain Bay project and its residents.
We undertake different aspects to reduce energy usage as part of the strategic energy plan which saves millions in energy costs without compromising on Onyx Bahrain Bay project residents’ experience. This includes using water aerators with a water-saving flow rate, to save water as well as energy. In addition, these aerators equipped with the technology that maintains a steady flow rate even if the system pressure keeps going up and down. This means more comfort for Onyx’s residents and reduced water bills that achieves high aeration efficiency.
Also, a lower wattage, motion sensor-controlled LED lighting has been installed in various locations.
