The Beach JumeIrah
Project Type: Splash Pad
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Beach splash pad delights as an amenity to individuals in the Jumeirah Beach Residence area. Life Floor was installed in 2018 and has provided a comfortable and slip-resistant surface for families looking to cool off in the hot climate of Dubai. The foam-rubber tiles serve as a good solution for facilities in search of a product that dissipates heat quickly since it will not burn skin and stays comfortable underfoot.
Pulling inspiration from the nearby beach, the Life Floor Studio combined a gradient shoreline effect with triangles and Marine Inlays. Triangle gradients work well when paired with seashore themes because tan colors such as Gobi, Sandbar, and Sandstone resemble beach elements which transition into blues such as Aviator and then Bluebird, getting darker as the depth of the water increases. The resulting flooring design visually signals that the depth of water is increasing without more obvious depth markers.
Life Floor’s UV resistant tile colors remain vibrant under the intense Dubai sun with the help of shaded structures. With constant pedestrian traffic from nearby shops and coffee houses, the splash pad continues to be a focal attraction for cooling off and enjoying mid-day splashes.
