1. Villa Types & Permitted Use
In Morooj, the land is specifically zoned for residential use with two primary types of housing allowed:

Detached Villas (Type D-01a): Private, stand-alone residences for single families.

2. Construction & Height Permits
The building regulations in Morooj offer flexibility while maintaining a cohesive skyline:

Permitted Height: You are allowed to build Ground + 1st Floor + 50% of the Roof area.

Roof Utilization: The 50% allowance on the roof level can be used for additional living space, a gym, or a maid's room, while the remaining 50% serves as an open roof terrace.

3. Architectural Design (Contemporary Style)
Morooj follows a strict Contemporary Architectural Style. This means:

Clean Geometry: The design focuses on rectangular and square forms, avoiding traditional ornaments, domes, or arches.

Large Glazing: The use of floor-to-ceiling glass windows is highly encouraged on the front and back facades to maximize natural light and connect the interior with the garden.

Flat Roofs: Roofs must be flat with wide, dominant overhangs (fascia) to provide shade and a modern aesthetic.

4. Privacy and Setbacks
To ensure a high quality of life, the guidelines mandate:

Side Wall Privacy: Walls facing neighbors must have minimal windows. "Slit windows" (narrow vertical openings) are recommended to allow light without compromising privacy.

Terraces: You can design covered terraces above the garage area, providing extra outdoor space while maintaining the villa's modern silhouette.

5. Color Palette & Finishing
Primary Colors: The community identity is tied to a sophisticated palette of White and Cool Grays.
Accents: Subtle earth tones or light pastels are permitted for up to 15% of the facade to add depth.
Materials: High-quality plaster, smooth paint, and natural stone cladding (for stair towers or entrance features) are encouraged.

6. Why Morooj?
Investing in a villa plot in Morooj means living in a zone that is adjacent to the city’s green lungs and pedestrian trails. It is ideal for those who appreciate minimalist modern design and want a home that feels both luxurious and integrated into a forward-thinking community.
