A 22.38-acre riverfront masterplan on the banks of the Dhaleshwari — 125 villas set behind a living waterfront of promenade, parks and amphitheatre, redefining suburban living through a deep connection with nature.
The brief
Nestled along the banks of the Dhaleshwari River in Rasulpur, New Dhaka is a thoughtfully envisioned 22.38-acre residential masterplan that redefines suburban living through a deep connection with nature. Rather than treating the river as a backdrop, the plan embraces it as the defining element — shaping the spatial organisation, the public realm and the everyday experience. A continuous waterfront promenade, landscaped parks, gathering spaces and an open-air amphitheatre turn the riverbank into a vibrant civic destination and the social heart of the development, while preserving uninterrupted views of the water. The residential neighbourhoods sit beyond the active riverfront for tranquillity, yet all 125 villas keep a visual connection to the river; each is oriented to maximise natural ventilation, daylight and cross-breezes, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling. Tree-lined streets, generous green corridors and integrated landscape weave the built environment into a walkable, environmentally responsive community — a resilient, contemporary neighbourhood that celebrates Bangladesh’s riverine identity.
Scope of work
Master planning, architecture and landscape for a 22.38-acre riverfront residential community of 125 villas along the Dhaleshwari — waterfront promenade, parks, amphitheatre and green corridors.
