The Yards: a closer look at Arancia

The overview.

The Yards is the wider community; Arancia is its first residential scheme. BEYOND describes three low-rise buildings arranged around a central green valley. The appeal is the connection between home and landscape, in an inland Dubai setting rather than a tower on the coast.

Start with the community, then find the building

The Yards and Arancia answer different questions. The master-community plan explains the wider setting in City of Arabia. Arancia's plan explains where the first residential buildings sit, how they face the valley and where residents enter. The apartment plan then establishes the rooms and outside space belonging to one home.

Keeping those three scales separate makes the project easier to understand. Shared landscape is not a private garden, and a feature elsewhere in the wider community is not necessarily beside a selected building. The low-rise composition is a useful starting point, but the entrance, outlook and route through the grounds distinguish one home from another.

A garden home is a different way of living

Arancia's published range runs from one to three bedrooms, with gardens attached to selected ground-floor homes. A garden can extend everyday living outdoors, but its position beside common paths and neighbouring homes affects privacy. An upper-floor apartment trades that direct ground-level connection for a different outlook and separation from activity below.

Inside, bedroom count alone does not tell the whole story. A living room with space for dining, sensible kitchen circulation and usable storage can be more valuable to a household than additional area in a corridor. The original interior visualisation shows the intended relationship between living space, glazing and terrace; the selected floor plan establishes how that relationship works in the actual home.

City of Arabia shapes the daily routine

This is an inland community proposition. Someone choosing it for low-rise living and landscaped surroundings is making a different location choice from a buyer prioritising a beachfront walk or an established central-city neighbourhood. The relevant comparison starts with the household's regular destinations and how the surrounding district will be used.

A useful shortlist puts Arancia beside another low-rise option and, where possible, a completed home that can be visited. Compare the rooms, outside space and daily journeys together. For the proposed home, keep the timing and written terms attached to the exact release; an early masterplan sheet does not establish today's offer for every apartment.
