Aportación de la obra:

“The design combined with its orientation, allows 60 percent of the site space to have views out to the sea. Four connecting bridges at the rear of the building provide the flexibility for future expansion. Such ‘future proofing’ for further expansion is important in this key site and Atkins provided several options as part of our added value service.”

Concepto del diseño:

“Inspired by the vertical shape of the Minaret the central aim was to produce a form that would be instantly recognisable on the local, regional and international architectural stage.“ dijó Shaun Killa, design director for Atkins in Dubai.
