Master Development

Jumeirah Village Circle
City: Dubai

---

On the Jumeirah Village Circle development, amid the sprawling building works that continue to mushroom, is a show villa with a difference. It may have the mandatory stunning furnishings, discerning artwork on the walls and gracious ornaments in all the right places, but this villa doesn't just pay attention to detail, it is also environment-friendly and thus highly energy efficient.

Being energy efficient is de rigueur and it makes sense. After all, this is one way that homeowners can make a difference to the world and cut back on costs. So, when Green Facilities Management, which provides environment-friendly solutions for the home, wanted to showcase its work, it was only natural that it had an eco-friendly show home that proves exactly how easy it can be to change your property into a money-saving, sustainable haven.

The first thing that hits you about this Leed-certified townhouse, called Sandoval Gardens, is that it looks like any other show home. However, what this proves is that aesthetics do not have to be compromised in order to become energy efficient. Indeed, it is the simple things that make all the difference, and as Amandeep Panesar, managing director, Green Facilities Management, shows us around, we manage to spot the subtle signs that make a difference to saving energy.

Jumeirah Village is a self-contained community of villas, townhouses, and low-rise buildings amidst landscaped boulevards and gardens, delivering unique lifestyle concepts to incumbents. Jumeirah Village is a freehold residential development demarcated into three sectors that are located on the Emirates Road, near the Jumeirah Islands.

Jumeirah Village comprises a series of villages linked to one another by open landscaped areas and canals offering two to four bedroom villas with balconies and one or two bedroom spacious townhouses with a multitude of ultra-modern leisure and home accessories. Once completed, these lovely residential areas will be a striking blend of Arabian and Mediterranean architectural styles and themes.
