Reem Mall

Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Year: 2015 Status: Construction Program: Shopping Mall

Located on Reem Island with fantastic views to the marina, Reem Mall is the shopping, entertainment and food destination for the high-end residential developments of Hazaa bin Zayed Street and Al Reem Island. The interior design concept draws inspiration from elements of the local landscape like salt and the salt mangrove, reflected in materials like glass and metal, and the patterns and organic shapes which characterize this salt-tolerant shrub. The program of the mall includes the interior design development for all public spaces inside the mall: circulation spaces, food courts, prayer room, public toilets and administration offices. This notion allows to create a unique interior space based on the beauty of the context where the development is located. The north side of the mall accentuates the connection to Reem Island Bridge through the sharp angles which join the different levels, creating a dynamic effect which is highlighted by the patterned glass ceiling. The south side overlaps volumes by dividing the space into individual crystals which orientate visitors through the interconnected spaces. This transition is overlapped, reinforced by layers of paving patterns and materials. The Mangrove Atrium, the heart of the mall, is the largest open space, programmed to host different events and acts as the main access point from the parking levels situated above ground. On the top floor, the Mangrove Food Court evoques the mangrove forest with patterned columns in shades of green and blue which emerge like trees, with two skylines that fill the space with natural light.

This metaphor is reinterpreted through the beauty of the dunes by replicating the natural colors of sand and pastel blue tones. This choice of palettes, together with the use of locally-found greenery, create surprising zones which replicate the joyfulness of finding the longing oasis.

Basra Cultural Palace

Location: Basra, Iraq Year: 2014 Status: Competition Program: Cultural center

The new headquarters of the Basra Governorate occupy an extension of 20,868m2. Aside office and administration areas, the design also contemplates a multifunctional program, as the Governorate wants to host different cultural events and festivals taking place in the Iraqi city. Therefore, other spaces like exhibitions areas, conference and cinema halls, a theatre, broadcasting department and large areas with greenery have been included in the proposed design. The brief for the competition also asked for a concept which reflected the heritage and culture of the city, so this is the main design narrative followed in the interior.

Library

Given the extension of the building, one key issue was to fill the massive spaces with natural light. This is achieved through the diagonal-shaped openings in the facade, which resemble dots in Arabic Calligraphy, and allow plenty of light to enter the space. This is mimicked by the light-toned wood handrails which are designed with a similar zig-zag to those of the openings. This calligraphic reference is a remark about the position the city enjoyed as a great centre of learning and theology at the beginning of its history. As the program includes the organization of several events, the interior design bares in mind the inclusion of the latest in sound and lighting technology for the festivals and exhibitions taking place in the building. It also and conforms to contemporary architectural codes of design, efficiency, sustainability, safety and security.
