Location: Dubai Creek District, UAE

The Lysandra Civic Centre is envisioned as a public anchor for community life within Dubai Creek’s new mixed-use district. Positioned along a reflective canal system, the center links urban activity, cultural programming, and natural landscape into a unified civic environment.

Terraced green roofs, pedestrian walkways, and shaded outdoor courtyards connect the building seamlessly to the waterfront. These layered public spaces support events, education, workshops, exhibitions, and everyday gathering, offering residents an accessible place to learn, meet, and connect.

Inside, the Centre features:

• Flexible multipurpose halls for cultural events and performances

• Community classrooms and creative workshop studios

• Public exhibition spaces showcasing local arts and initiatives

• Indoor–outdoor gathering terraces overlooking the water

Sustainable cooling landscapes, passive shading, and native planting strategies enhance comfort and environmental performance.
The Lysandra Civic Centre functions as both a communal living room and a cultural stage, reinforcing Dubai’s investment in inclusive civic life and public space identity.
