2. Riffa Views comprises of
three exclusively distinct
Signature Estates - Lagoon,
Oasis and Park, a Colin Mont-
gomerie championship golf
course, a world class interna-
tional school and state of the
art amenities.
OASIS ESTATES The flow-
ing sands of Bahrain and the
soothing natural shades of
green create a picturesque
background to the villas in
the Oasis estate. Featuring
a classic architectural style
amalgamating the local Bah-
raini architecture elements
with the contemporary, these
villas are a work of art and a
reminder of the Arabic archi-
tecture.
LAGOON ESTATES Contem-
porary architecture creates
an effortless feeling of calm,
the clean styling of the exte-
rior and the expansive indoor
areas give a feeling of open-
ness and space.
PARK ESTATES The inspira-
tional Mediterranean archi-
tecture gives the villas of Park
Estate a quality that defies
the passage of time. Perfectly
suited to their idyllic setting,
characteristic designs of
Master plan of Riffa Views brick and stucco add to the
feel of this historic style.

3. Oasis Estate
Set around the world-class championship Riffa Golf Course, this BD190 million (500 million USD) development includes over 1000 highly desirable villas
built to outstanding quality.
As the Lead Architect and Project Manager for MSCEB for this prestigious and top end township project, I was in charge of the design of all the top-end
villas, two mosques and other ancillary buildings. In addition, several standard villa concepts were developed, and carried out to Detailed Design and Ten-
der documentation.
The next three slides show the snapshots of various types of villas for all the three estates starting from the basic two bedroom townhouse of 193 m2 to
the elaborate signature villa of 715 m2

Over and above these 9 types developed for all three styles - Oasis, Lagoon and Park, 1 bespoke villas were developed for special clients who had larger
1
plots and a bigger requirement. These villas were over a 1000m2 in built up area and are currently in various stages of design and/or construction.
These villas, in the meantime have been handed over to the owners for their use. The Riffa Views school is also operational and the Retail centre is cur-
rently being designed and developed.
