The proposed masterplan fosters a livable and vibrant environment, enhancing the overall quality of life for residents, supporting employee retention, and aligning with the expectations of the operators. - [Siranna Hotel Masterplan](https://era-co.com/projects/siranna-hotel-masterplan/) - Siranna is a space where elegant and innovative living meet to facilitate a lifestyle without compromise. Situated on the Gulf of Aqaba coastline, this ultra-luxurious destination will be home to a 100-key hotel, as well as 35 exclusive residences. The destination offers uninterrupted views of the Red Sea, with its tiered design offering diverse views and perspectives. Emerging from the rugged coastal terrain, the hexagonal pillars are distinctive, yet complementary to the surrounding mountains and flora. - [Innovation Campus Masterplan](https://era-co.com/projects/innovation-campus-masterplan/) - ERA-co designed the masterplan for the Innovation Campus, envisioning a new typology: a SOUK that serves as a vibrant, futuristic campus with a magnetic central heart. While the site offers a blank canvas, the masterplan ensures it engages seamlessly with the surrounding urban scale, establishing its own distinct identity as a home for a new generation of thinkers, innovators, and creators. - [Nature Base Hub](https://era-co.com/projects/nature-base-hub/) - [MC2 Masterplan](https://era-co.com/projects/mc2-masterplan/) - [IWAN](https://era-co.com/projects/iwan/) - [City Hub Dubai Masterplan](https://era-co.com/projects/city-hub-dubai-masterplan/) - [Al Jada Masterplan](https://era-co.com/projects/al-jada-masterplan/) - Al Jada Masterplan is a transformative development in Sharjah that redefines urban living.

Urban form, orientation, and massing are carefully studied to minimize solar gain and optimize prevailing wind patterns. Shaded colonnades, arcades, and narrow pedestrian corridors reduce heat exposure while enhancing walkability. Courtyard typologies, inspired by regional architecture, create cooler microclimates that encourage social interaction throughout the year. - [Dubai D3 Masterplan](https://era-co.com/projects/dubai-d3-masterplan/) - Dubai Design District (D3) is a 200 hectare Masterplan that positions Dubai as a global centre of design, combining high growth fashion, luxury and art markets with a mix of cutting-edge industrial, product, interior, architectural, conceptual, graphic and digital design. Part of a wider plan for EXPO 2020, the district will foster opportunities in the luxury, design, retail and hospitality industries as well as providing a channel for discovery of new MENA talent. The overall strategy for the masterplan grid is based on the superplot approach – each superplot comprises of 4 subplots combining office and residential typologies around a shared courtyard. ## People - [Paolo Testolini](https://era-co.com/people/paolo-testolini/) - [Anthony Nelson](https://era-co.com/people/anthony-nelson/) - [Zabe Carruthers](https://era-co.com/people/zabe-carruthers/) - [Taras Kashko](https://era-co.com/people/taras-kashko/) - [Stav Eilam](https://era-co.com/people/stav-eilam/) - [Nicolas Palominos](https://era-co.com/people/nicolas-palominos/) - [Matt Busher](https://era-co.com/people/matt-busher/) - [Leanne Deale](https://era-co.com/people/leanne-deale/) - [John Salama](https://era-co.com/people/john-salama/) - [Jessica Njoo](https://era-co.com/people/jessica-njoo/) - [Hugo Lamb](https://era-co.com/people/hugo-lamb/) - [Emma Acton](https://era-co.com/people/emma-acton/) - [Emily Jarvis](https://era-co.com/people/emily-jarvis/) - [Caitlin Murray](https://era-co.com/people/caitlin-murray/) - [Atakan Guven](https://era-co.com/people/atakan-guven/) - [Anna Johnston](https://era-co.com/people/anna-johnston/) - [Alex Grieves](https://era-co.com/people/alex-grieves/) - [Albert Fraval](https://era-co.com/people/albert-fraval/) - [Zoe Crawforth](https://era-co.com/people/zoe-crawforth/) - [Alex Baum](https://era-co.com/people/alex-baum/) - [Nick Todd](https://era-co.com/people/nick-todd/) - [Amanda Stanaway](https://era-co.com/people/amanda-stanaway/) - [Steven Cornwell](https://era-co.com/people/steven-cornwell/) ## Homepages - [ERA-co 2023 - Homepage v4 - Launch](https://era-co.com/homepages/era-co-2023-homepage-v4-launch/) ## Categories - [Uncategorized](https://era-co.com/category/uncategorized/) - [Field Notes](https://era-co.com/category/field-notes/) - [Frontiers](https://era-co.com/category/frontiers/) - [How We Work](https://era-co.com/category/how-we-work/) - [Foundations](https://era-co.com/category/foundations/) ## Tags - [Insight](https://era-co.com/tag/insight/) - [Masterplanning](https://era-co.com/tag/masterplanning/) - [Urban Analytics](https://era-co.com/tag/urban-analytics/) - [User strategy](https://era-co.com/tag/user-strategy/) - [News](https://era-co.com/tag/news/) - [Workplace Strategy](https://era-co.com/tag/workplace-strategy/) - [Impact](https://era-co.com/tag/impact/) - [Brand Experience](https://era-co.com/tag/brand-experience/) - [Placemaking](https://era-co.com/tag/placemaking/) ## Sectors - [Hotel & Hospitality](https://era-co.com/sectors/hotel-hospitality/)
