由区域生活方式引领者、阿联酋知名开发商打造的Ghaf Woods社区，将自然编织进日常生活的脉络，重塑定义了沙漠城市的人居范式。作为社区核心，Ghaf Woods体验中心是一座沉浸式、面向未来的目的地，通过吸引、教育和启发的方式，引领未来居住体验的新风尚。该体验中心由中国建筑事务所aoe事建组主导设计，迪拜STUDIOI事务所负责深化。凭借这一项目，aoe事建组不仅完成了其首个海外落地作品，更成为首个在迪拜实现项目落地的中国本土建筑设计公司。这一里程碑式的突破，标志着aoe事建组国际化征程在迪拜迈出里程碑的一步。▼空间序列设计概念草图，spacial sequence concept sketch©aoe事建组

Ghaf Woods community redefines urban living by weaving nature into the fabric of everyday life. At its heart stands the Ghaf Woods Experience Centre—a fully immersive, future-forward destination designed to engage, educate, and inspire, leading the way for future living experiences. This Experience Centre design leaded by Chinese architecture firm aoe, and design developed by Dubai architecture firm STUDIOI, it is the first overseas project of aoe , marking a milestone step in its interdenominational journey in Dubai.

体验中心毗邻谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德高速公路，紧靠迪拜著名文化、娱乐、购物胜地“地球村”，依托交通枢纽的便利，同时营造出静谧的自然栖居。通过递进式的空间序列设计，建筑巧妙地隔绝了城市喧嚣，以一场精心布局的探索旅程徐徐展开，让每位访客都沉浸于“与自然共生”的生活哲学之中。

Located near Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Highway,and next to Global Village, one of Dubai’s most popular cultural, entertainment, and shopping destinations, the centre sits at a nexus of connectivity while offering a serene retreat into nature.Through thoughtful spatial sequencing, the building is shielded from city noise and gradually reveals itself through a curated journey, inviting guests to fully immerse themselves in the philosophy of “Living in harmony with nature”.

作为进入Ghaf Woods社区的门户，体验中心以多层次的方式诠释社区可持续生活的愿景。设计灵感源自沙漠地貌，建筑形态如沙丘般从大地自然隆起，动态而富有生命力。场地整体规划路径仿若林间蜿蜒的溪流，访客的探索从穿行森林开始，车辆停驻后，一场融合叙事、创新与场所营造的旅程正式展开。访客将沉浸于一系列的体验：从光影交织的“光之隧道”，到精心策划的建筑材料展示，再到通过虚拟现实技术呈现未来住宅与景观，每一处细节都在愿景与现实之间建立连接。

As a gateway into Ghaf Woods, the Experience Centre offers a multi-layered introduction to the community’s sustainable living vision. The design draws inspiration from the desert landscape, with a dynamic architectural form that mirrors a sand dune emerging from the terrain. Master planned like a stream weaving through the forest, the visitor journey begins with a drive into the woodland, where cars are discreetly dropped off. Inside, the centre merges storytelling, innovation, and place making. Visitors are guided through a series of immersive experiences: from a signature “Light Tunnel” that plays with shadow and reflection, to curated displays of construction materials, and a VR tour that brings the future homes and landscapes of Ghaf Woods to life. Every element bridges the gap between vision and reality.

沿着户外路径，访客穿梭于由露天剧场、户外活动广场、森林花园与镜湖等串联起来的一系列的景观节点，为访客提供驻足沉思与社交互动的空间。这些元素经过精心布置，犹如洒落在林间的宝石，等待着访客的探索与发现，同时它们丰富了空间的层次感，亦深化了中场所自然与建筑紧密交织的生活方式。

Along the outdoor path, a curated sequence of landscape nodes, including an Amphitheatre, Event Plaza, Quiet Garden, and Garden of Water, offer contemplative and social spaces for visitors to pause and explore. These elements are carefully positioned as moments of discovery, like jewels scattered through the forest, enriching the spatial hierarchy and deepening the integration of nature and the built form.

主体建筑以沙丘形态顺应地形蜿蜒起伏，与周围景观布局相融合，仿佛是大自然中连绵不断的延续。其GRC材质阶梯式外立面以流动的韵律包裹结构，围合成独特的建筑形象。南侧通高玻璃幕墙将景观水池与森林绿意引入室内，消弭内外界限，营造出静谧的沉浸氛围，令人重拾与自然的亲密联结。

The main building itself is sculpted to echo theorganic undulations of a sand dune, rising and falling in tune with the terrain. It appears to grow from the earth, itsGRC-stepped exteriorwrapping the structure in a flowing, architectural rhythm. On the southern side, afloor-to-ceiling glass façadewelcomes in views of a landscaped pond and forest canopy, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. The result is a serene, immersive atmosphere that evokes a sense of intimacy with the forest and a re-connection to nature.

内部空间将科技、叙事与社区愿景相结合。高精度3D沙盘清晰展现Ghaf Woods社区的规划、绿色基础设施与可持续设计亮点；材料样品区让访客了解到构成未来家园的精选材料；同时，虚拟现实多媒体展厅则让访客身临其境般探索未来的住宅单元、景观与公共空间，每一处都被细腻呈现，真正实现了从想象到体验的无缝衔接。贵宾休息室和办公区位于较安静的北侧，面向私密庭院，为访客与员工提供舒适与私密兼具的自然连接。

Internally, the centre brings together technology, storytelling, and community visioning. A high-precision 3D model of the Ghaf Woods master plan allows visitors to understand the layout, green infrastructure, and sustainability features of the community. Material samples offer insights into the conscious choices made in the construction of future homes. Meanwhile, a VR-powered multimedia suite gives guests the opportunity to explore future residential units, landscapes, and public realms, bridging the gap between concept and lived experience with precision and clarity. A VIP lounge and office zone are positioned on the quieter northern side, facing a private courtyard to offer comfort, privacy, and an ongoing connection to the natural environment for both visitors and staff. Every aspect of the building considers UAE’s climate conditions. Extended eaves shade the façade, reducing solar gain and improving energy efficiency. The southern water feature contributes to passive cooling by lowering the immediate microclimate. The surrounding forest ecosystem, designed with native and adaptive species, contributes to cooler ambient temperatures across the community compared to the adjacent desert zone, proving how ecological design can directly enhance urban comfort.

通过这些绿色建筑策略，Ghaf Woods体验中心成为中东地区环境响应型建筑与气候适应性城市主义的实践范本。它不仅是故事的讲述者，更积极展现了未来社区如何兼顾复原力、美学与生态智慧。重要的是，该中心开放式的空间布局为未来的功能转换预留了无限可能。让空间随着社区的成长而不断进化，可灵活转型为文化场所、教育中心或社区中心等，确保长期的适应性和价值创造。Ghaf Woods体验中心不仅仅是一个建筑项目，它代表着一种模式的转变——向生物亲和设计、低碳生活与社区优先的可持续发展方向迈进。它是“与自然共生”理念的灯塔，以森林栖居的诗意平衡，为人类福祉与生态守护树立全新标杆。

Through thesegreen building strategies, the Ghaf Woods Forest Experience centre serves as aworking prototypefor environmentally responsive architecture and climate-adaptive urbanism in the MENA region. Its role extends beyond storytelling, it actively demonstrates how communities of the future can be built with resilience, beauty, and ecological intelligence. Importantly, the centre’sopen-plan spatial layoutallows forfunctional evolutionover time. As the community grows, the space can seamlessly transition into new uses, whether as a cultural venue, learning centre, or resident hub, ensuring long-term adaptability and value generation. More than an architectural achievement, the Ghaf Woods Experience Centre represents a paradigm shift: a move toward biophilic design, low-carbon lifestyles, and sustainable, community-first development. It is a beacon of whatliving in harmony with naturecan look like, offeringfirst-row forest living, where nature and lifestyle exist in perfect balance, setting a new standard for human well being and environmental stewardship.
