I HAVE TO SAY THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC

 

[Azmat]

It's a big mishmash of different architectural styles (which is also true of Khedival Cairo). The Art Deco buildings give off a New York vibe whereas the Beaux Arts-styled buildings look very Parisian. On the other hand I feel like it fails to incorporate Egyptian styles, unlike Khedival Cairo which has an unmistakable Egyptian character.

The district has been named apparently. It's going to be called New Garden City.

These are my all time favourite renders on this site. I absolutely love both Parisian and Baroque architecture. This is what I wish for all of Egypt to look like. Better than all those Commie blocks and "Sleek" Dubai like buildings. Modern architecture is a menace to culture and it's sad to see it's effect on the West so any classical architecture is much welcomed.

 

[Azmat]

I agree, I'm most excited by this and the CBD. I'm a fan of both classic and modern architecture, and many European cities have managed to blend the two perfectly. I love the renders for the government district as well but it's a government district, so not much to get excited for. :lol:

‘New Garden City’ to be established at Egypt’s New Administrative Capital: Prime Minister - LINK

Egypt will be establishing a district in the New Administrative Capital that would resemble downtown Cairo’s Garden City area, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced on Saturday.

The construction in district R5 is ongoing and will be named “New Garden City”, Madbouly said in a statement.

The New Garden City is located on an area of about 1,000 acres, and scheduled to include 23,000 housing units, varying between apartments and villas in addition to a number of luxury units.

Madbouly explained that the architectural style that will be followed is the old French style, similar to the architecture implemented in Cairo’s Garden City.

He added that all services such as health, education, religious facilities, sports, entertainment and daily commercial activities will be provided in the neighborhoods.

Madbouly pointed out that the neighborhood will also include a residential towers area with about 2,000 housing units and a 5-star hotel.

Not sure if i should post here or in construction updates.
Villas by the ministry from the R5 district, there are some interior photos but they just show normal furniture, i really don't like the design.

I actually like the design. the colour is a bit off, but the neo-pharaonic architecture is really nice.

 

[Azmat]

Satellite images of the R5 district. It looks like it has been slightly downsized, or am I imagining things? The distance between the squares looks shorter in the satellite images.

 

[future_architect96]

^^ Definitely looks like the downsized it... what a shame hno:

Execution is kinda shit.
The facade doesn't match the render and is missing some of the details on stone.
I got that from a Facebook page so I'm really hoping that's a different building.

 

[LNDN]

It can't be the same one, the one in the renders has high street shops on the ground floor, so this must be deeper inside the neighborhood

 

[Azmat]

It's not necessarily a bad building, just doesn't look anything close to that particular render. I really doubt they're the same though, there's no resemblance other than the color.

I really don't like how they've separated these with a big ass wall. Is it even necessary? And if yes, for privacy reasons (I know Egyptians are iffy about this stuff), it could have been much smaller. The way it is now, the wall stands out as a very dominant feature. Would have been classier if it was more proportionate and maybe even made with wood.

They look like council/social houses. :lol:
