Dhahran Air Terminal

The terminal’s primary purpose was to serve as transit point for east-west international air traffic. King Saud wanted the domestic terminal to have as much importance as the international terminal, despite the fact that it required only one-third the floor area. The design solution combines the two terminals into one building giving them equal importance.

It has an architectural design that combines modern style with the old Islamic style (arches, domes, and other Islamic decorations and carvings on the doors, mihrab, and mimbar).

Dubai Promenade 2

This project takes into consideration the location of the Dubai Promenade site, as well as its close proximity to the Palm Island Development. In keeping with the palm tree shape of the latter. The chosen starfish shape, aside from its attractiveness, has further advantages: it naturally forms beautiful lagoons and beaches and varies the landscape for the residents.

Royal Reception Pavilion

International Bank of Qatar

The International Bank of Qatar, known as IBQ, has decided to locate its new Headquarters Building in the New District of Doha.

The IBQ tower employs a ‘two-mass’ strategy articulated with a triangulated folding geometry that exemplifies the potential for slender elegance in glass and metal. The faceted triangulation of the articulated surfaces reflects the client-inspired crystalline form soaring to approximately 190 meters at its apex.

In addition to the aesthetic and functional aspects of the IBQ tower, considerable thought has been devoted to the operating and construction costs. Consideration in efficiencies relevant to energy conservation through the reduction of solar gain is evident through the use of fritted glazing and implementation of several sky gardens.

Extensive use of interior glazing of flexible wall systems throughout the general office areas allow for visually spacious and flexible interiors.
