Bausher Heights presents an exceptional opportunity to expand the city while preserving its inherent character and surrounding natural beauty.

Bausher Heights is a masterplan project in the metropolitan context of Greater Muscat in Oman.

Bausher Heights presents an exceptional opportunity to expand the city of Muscat, while preserving its inherent character and surrounding natural beauty. Nestled within this residential complex lies the renowned National Geographic Museum, alongside amenities such as gyms, shops, bars, panoramic restaurants, and relaxation areas. The aim is not merely to develop but to redefine Muscat's stature by establishing a new benchmark for global developments.

Our vision extends beyond mere construction; we seek to enrich the urban fabric with meticulously crafted parks, stunning architectural marvels, and awe-inspiring landscapes, ensuring the enduring welfare of both current and future inhabitants.

Taking cues from the rich tapestry of traditional Omani architecture, our project endeavors to infuse modernity with the comfort and opulence expected in contemporary living spaces. By employing innovative design strategies tailored to the site's topography, our residences seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor environments, nurturing a harmonious coexistence with nature.

These bespoke dwellings are tailored to accommodate the diverse needs of families in search of more than just a house—a haven where they can thrive amidst luxurious comfort. Our unwavering dedication to sustainable development and environmental stewardship permeates every facet of Bausher Heights, setting an unparalleled standard for urban living.

Bausher Heights is design by Giò Forma Architects and F&M Middle East and LAND
