About
Luxury in a building comes from uniqueness and beauty. The neighbourhood around it is made of square skyscrapers all treated alike; this project stands apart through a close reading of the site, the climate and the local culture.
The south façade, which takes the strongest sun, is protected by a metal skin based on the traditional mashrabiya. This filter keeps the interior comfortable through sun, sandstorms and the high temperatures of the Qatari capital.
On the north façade, a vertical layering of elements and Arabian gardens gives the building its identity.
