GROHE focuses on style and sustainability
Dubai’s first green city residential development feature GROHE fittings
Protecting the environment, preserving natural resources and
exercising social responsibility have long been important elements
of corporate strategy at GROHE. The leading bathroom fittings
manufacturer is now partnering with Dubai Sustainable City to fit
the new residential community with Masters of Technology award
winning sustainable designs.
Located just 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai, the Sustainable City will offer luxury housing that meets sustainability standards (set by The World Commission on Environment and Development). The homes are a mix of inspiring architecture and advanced sustainable infrastructure, ensuring residents do not compromise elegant design for a reduced carbon footprint. The city will generate much of its own electricity through city-wide and rooftop solar panels and the homes are designed to accommodate this too. Each house takes into consideration the natural aspects of sunlight and wind in order to create cleaner air and providing lower temperatures for a cooler city microclimate.

The city concept is also reflected in all of GROHE’s selection
installed in the residential area combining the economic,
ecological and safe use of water with excellent design. Such
products include the Tempesta shower head and hand shower
which are engineered to withstand the rigors of, day-to-day, use
and create a very satisfying shower with maximum water
coverage. The residential homes will also feature the Concetto.
With its super-slick design and high-tech features, the Concetto
design is fresh and youthful, creating a crisp and modern look with
contemporary accents to the bath.
Eurocube, a design cleverly engineered for an extensive choice of faucets features accurate square designs for the basin, bidet, shower and bath. The combination of square and rectangular shapes enhanced with the latest GROHE technologies make the Euphoria Cube the smart choice for minimalist design in the bathroom.

product allows for responsible and safe consumption of water
and energy resources making it the ideal choice for Sustainable
City and reflecting GROHE‘s core values of minimalism, modernism
and functional excellence.
Dubai Sustainable City will be the first residential community of its kind in Dubai. It is expected to meet the highest environmental standards by adopting a sustainable approach in its mission to become a regional leader in both eco-tourism and global environmental protection.
The residential area will be made of 500 townhouses and courtyard villas all inspired by the urban form and heritage of Dubai’s old Bastakyia district. It will also boast tourist attractions such as a planetarium and a grass amphitheatre for hosting events. To encourage outdoor activities, there will be a variety of sport and leisure facilities, biking and shaded jogging trails across the city. Further, the city will have a natural ‘biodome’ greenhouse, organic farm and individual garden farms for local food production.
The Sustainable City is expected to be completed by 2016.
