Pentominium Tower, Dubai Marina, UAE

Pentominium, located in Dubai Marina, will potentially be the tallest residential tower in the world when completed. This tower had a unique challenge, in that it had to respond to tow different conditions of the site: the destiny / proximity of the neighbours and the extreme environment pressures of this region. Therefore the building has two different sides that centre around a shared core. One side is a simple extrusion that reaches the full height of the building. This side is primarily southern oriented and utilizes a system of balconies and a vertical layer of glass to mitigate solar gain. As the building rises this layer of glass becomes wider and functions as a wind break to help protect the balcony from the higher velocity winds as one gets to the extreme heights of the tower. The other side of the building is a staggered shape, alternating between apartments and voids of sky-gardens. This is achieved through the introduction of six five storey high pods that cling structurally to the core. This alternation allows for either communal or semi-private spaces and thus enables the tower to “breathe” within its dense context. The result is a very thin, lightweight 516-meter tower that lightly sits into its setting of extruded neighbours and powerfully maintains its presence in its context and climate.

FACADE

Ajman Corniche Residences Ajman, UAE The Ajman Corniche Residence site is located on Al Khaleej Al Arabi Road (Ajman Corniche Road), a dual carriageway, and is approximately equidistant between roundabouts terminating Al Karama street to the North and Haroun Al Rasheed St. to the South. The site is 214.8 metres long fronting the Arabian Gulf, and 60 metres wide. At each corner, there are 4m chamfers for vehicle visibility. Inspection of the Land and property Department affection plan reveals that the site is a conglomeration of 14 standard plots. These are numbered 1 to 14 on this plan. (See Figures 2 and 3 Location and Plot). The site has no other remarkable natural feature or vegetation and is generally flat. The Ajman Corniche Residences plot is also bounded by single carriage roads to the North, South and East. The existing low-rise residential stock served by these roads is ap-

proximately 20 to 30 years old and generally in average to poor condition. The roads are generally in a state of disrepair and will probably require significant upgrading in the vicinity of ACR. To the South on Ajman Corniche Road, 2 Blocks away, a Residential Tower approximately 50 floors in height is currently under construction. This is the only High-rise in this area and will not be detrimental to ACR in terms of view sight lines, wind or sunlight. We are, however, informed that there are numerous other towers planned for the Corniche road. The ACR beach area across the Corniche Road in front of the site is without building feature ensuring totally unobstructed seaviews from the site. It is assumed that this will remain the case. The width of the beach opposite the site is estimated to be around 75 metres to the mean high tide level. Ajman beach is unspoiled and offers considerable recreational opportunities to residents.

PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL DROP OFF

Ajman Corniche Residences will be one of a growing number of mega structures being built in the UAE and the first of its type in the Northern Emirate of Ajman. The Employer brief to maximize the use of the site for residential use and exploit the magnificent views of the Arabian Gulf, has resulted in a fluid glass form enveloping seven towers of varying height, each containing clusters of apartments in a double loaded configuration. The long rectangular site, was a key determinant in the design of the building and offered an opportunity to consider a ”linked tower” concept. In terms of imagery, there was no attempt at the outset of this design to contrive reference to a particular theme. However, the building with its roofline varying between fifty and sixty residential floors expressed with a cantilevered head structure, and sitting atop a ten level car park podium, may suggest to some the superstructure of a cruise liner. In any case, ACR will be a major landmark seen from great distances around and the imagery it evokes will be memorable and appropriate to its sea side setting. On a more specific level ACR will be an example of cutting edge modernist design, where the guiding principles are:

•The quality of space and natural light, for example the open planning of residential and amenity areas and the high level of natural light exposure generally •The juxtaposition between solid and void. For example the large openings bringing shafts of natural light to the boulevard and tower lobbies between electrical rooms •A contrast between regular and random. For example irregular sky gardens/regular fenestration creates a more interesting façade •A response to market demand. •A unique selling point. (USP) For example interlocking apartments maximizing the number of apartments with sea views. •Contemporary lifestyles. •A secure High Tech community. •Ecologically sound design. •Operationally efficient and convenient.

Emaar Burj Dubai Lake Hotel Address Hotel, Downtown, Dubai Located in the happening heart of Downtown Dubai, the hotel has the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa and the stunning Dubai Fountain on its doorstep and is flanked by The Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping and entertainment centre. The Address Downtown Dubai reveals a new art in offering service and comfort, where every guest’s stay is treated as an individual experience. A combination of outstanding facilities and superlative attention to detail makes it the premier lifestyle destination for international travellers.

The initial architectural concept was conceived by Northpoint Architects. Atkins developed the concept and also completed all other stages of design, development, construction and execution of the project.

The 63 storey tower ascends to a total height of 301m above the surrounding lake with uninterrupted views of the Residences, the Boulevard and the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. The tower has been carefully positioned and orientated to maximise the surrounding views from the tower and elegantly sculpted to become an icon in the low lying Old Town and Dubai Mall developments. The massing of the tower above the hotel is derived from its elliptical plan that reduces four times as it ascends to its apex. Below this, the eight storey hotel is a derivative of the elliptical plan, however becomes more organic in form, created from concentric circles which taper outwards the west and stepping down as it descends to the podium deck. The podium is made up of 3 levels of parking for the serviced apartments, one level of parking for the hotel, plant room spaces and the hotel back of house facilities for the hotel. The main entrance of the hotel, residences and the ballroom is at the rear of the building. The main access ascends 8m above the surrounds, which creates the sense of grand arrival as well as taking the guest above the podium deck level, which affords spectacular views to the Burj Khalifa as one enters the hotel lobby. The 5th and 6th levels accommodate the public areas that comprise of an all day dining restaurant, one speciality restaurant, a lobby lounge, a bar lounge, banqueting facilities, a business centre and the building main entrance lobby

Bahrain World Trade Centre Manama city, Bahrain

The Bahrain World Trade Centre site is in a prestigious location on the main King Faisal Highway in Manama, Bahrain. Offering unobstructed views over the Arabian Gulf, it is currently developed over half its area and comprises the Bahrain Sheraton Hotel, the associated single storey luxury shopping mall, and office tower, car parking, services and landscaped areas. The masterplan for the new development will provide additional twin office towers, a new shopping mall with anchor tenant, garden court and food outlets. Overall, the entire complex will include improvements which are intended to rejuvenate and breathe new life to the existing mall and hotel development. Capitalising on its prominent location, the design comprises a bold composition of two stunning, triangular shaped towers located above a sculpted three storey podium and basement. In borrowing from a distinctly nautical flavour, each tower is visually anchored to the ground by a concertina of curved, sail like forms that progressively peel back to reveal a dramatic form that resembles a shard of blue glass.

The tower tapers to a height of 240m above ground and are arranged on either side of the central axis of the development with the dividing spacing between them crucial to their composition. Each tower provides 34 floor of office space and an exclusive 42nd floor viewing deck. The podium accommodates a single storey extension to the existing shopping mall and reflects the already established modular, axial and spatial parameters. Three levels of covered car parking are available within the podium with further extensive parking and service areas provided in the basement. A sky-lit circular, indoor courtyard garden forms the centrepiece of both malls. Enclosed by shops and kiosks, this landscaped garden which also serves and an air conditioned transition space, carefully amalgamates hard and soft landscaping and water features to create and ambience that personifies the spirit of the ‘City Gardens ‘concept.

The 10 storey car park building with a capacity of 471 parking bays accommodates a 25m long swimming pool, gymnasium, squash courts and changing rooms on the roof level. The building satisfies the Clients dual requirements of aesthetics and functionality. The architectural design concept is based on the assembly of two separate massed forms, adopting the principles of symmetry and simplicity. A solid frame element anchors the building to the ground whist a second central body supported by the frame elements expresses a vertical upward movement. The articulation of the main body into lighter elements at the apex of the building is further emphasised by the presence of the deep recess at the base which creates weightlessness to the main body of the tower. Internally, apartment layouts are standardized to maximise functional and cost efficiency.

The most striking feature of the building is the white diagonal spine, which stretches from the ground to its apex. The spine encapsulates the building and serves to emphasise the striated appearance created by the subtle use of external materials. The external finishes consist of reflective grey and blue glass and white aluminium panel cladding. At the 230m high apex the white spine connects, forming a perfect square opening that frames the sky.

CONCEPT DESIGN * THE CUBE *

space planning consultative council halls

constructing the cube modular approach

inspiration traditional elements of u.a.e urban architecture

The space planning programme provided with the RFP called for G+5 story building. After carefully considering abu dhabi skyline and views from the eastern ring road and sadiyat island the team has purposely broken away from this limitation. The reason behind this aproach is that we don’t believe that we would have satisfied the key request from the RFp with a low rise building: to create a future landmark of abu dhabi city. a building of unique character, apearance and presence. shorter building would be lost and invisible against the skyline with numerous higher buildings in the background.

The concept involves constructing the 51x51m cube from modular 9x9m (6+3) elements froming the space with permiable exterior walls to encourage air circulation and natural ventilation. terraces formed from voids in the wall serve as landscaped gardens and external meeting and board rooms for council executives.

The design draws inpiration from traditional elements of UAE urban architecture: pure cubical forms, solid mass, air circulation, inner courtyards and gardens, sun and shade, ratio of void to solid and attention to detail that distingushes the local heritage. The goal was through design process to distil those traditional elements, find their original function and respond to it in a contemporary way. A modern interpretation of traditional elements rather than “blind” replication of gestures from the past.

the key to unlocking the space planning is the design, disposition, connections and relationship between the major spaces from ground to 3rd level. Reception hall, visitors hall, media halls, main halls etc. design team has constructed series of physical models of these spaces to successfully resolve the position of main volumes and intricate relatioships between them.

CANAL PR

Canal Precinct Phase 1 Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi

The design for the Cultural Canal Precinct should reflect the TDIC Leaderships Vision for Saadiyat using guidelines & principles set out in the UPC submission dated April 2011 and the outcome of the Design Kick off meeting as documents in the Inception report. Saadiyat Cultural District will be characterized by its high profile cultural functions and uses. These uses will be embedded in a bustling urban environment that is human in scale, and responsive to the needs and desires of those who live and work in, or visit the district. With a broad mix of uses in a multi-layered environment and with a diverse population, the district will establish residential and working communities including artists, designers and others involved in the creative industries. The Cultural Canal Precinct Project is considered as the heart of the Saadiyat Cultural District. It comprises medium to high density mixed use development along either side of the Canal waterfront and around the Zayed National Museum. With a well-defined grid, direct public transport and pedestrian connections to other areas of the island, its central location within the master plan and the diverse mix of uses, this area will give the district a strong urban identity. The land use of the program for the Precinct includes a mix of residential, hotels, retail, F&B and office use as well as cultural and community facilities. The site was divided into plots 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b. Plot 1 and 5b are not a part of the Canal Precinct Phase 1 development. z

The client’s vision for plots is as follows: • High End Shopping & Dining – Plot 2 & 4a: Luxury all over, grand and formal architecture with prominent views of canal, museums and city.High-end retailers with their own identities. Climate controlled spaces. Spacious residential units accommodating local lifestyles. Duplex, penthouse, all en-suite with the highest level of internal finishes • Canal Side Dining & Residential – Plot 3a & 3b: The second most expensive plot on the site (in terms of apartment value), and also the smallest. Excellent views perfect for dining, but in a quieter area - watching the action not necessarily being in the middle of it. Interlocking buildings create a series of public and private courtyards, covered and open. • Arts & Entertainment – Plots 4b & 5a One of the truly great gifts of man is the ability to move people through art and performance. Done well it entertains, educates, and challenges. The goal of the Arts and Entertainment area is to create an environment that could match that passion. This area brings day and nightlife onto the streets with cafes, performers, art galleries, and small shops; incorporating different levels of spaces and interconnecting public realm. Plot 4b incorporates eclectic architecture. This area is the transition from a formal Plot 2 into the traditional vocabulary in Plot 5 across the canal. Height Limit: Max 30.7m (G+5 to G+6)

Additional Height Required to accommodate Latest Hotel Programme:

Plot 5a, like its counterpart Plot 4 across the canal, precinct will continue to enhance the urban outdoor experience however with more distinctive traditional Arabic architecture vernacular to complement the souk retail at the ground level. A 25,000sqm Grade A office building is also accommodated on the site.

Architecture Development of the Canal Precinct will be relatively dense, with medium height buildings of between six and nine storeys (a maximum of 41.2 metres, varying according to plot), and high plot coverage. Higher buildings will be focused around the Grand Plaza and the space around the Zayed National Museum. Density will reduce towards the north of the development.

The central point of the Canal Precinct is a complex composition of landmark building, open space and urban setting that will be both unique on Plot 0005A the island, and unique in Abu Dhabi. The relationship between Super the Zayed National Museum, the Canal, The Grand Plaza, and the surrounding development, creates a spectacular urban ensemble. The museum’s feather-like towers will be the tallest building elements in the district, and will rise out of a landscaped mound at the centre of a great open space, defined by surrounding nine-storey buildings.

This report begins to respond to these comments in terms of colour, tone, materials and broad concept. The facade will need to be understood from a technical point of view, particularly with relation to MEP provision and stratgeies. These have yet to be fully defined and will influence the scope and design of the main facades.

At this stage of the project we are looking for broad agreement on the principle concept of the built elevations. More detailed work will follow in the next stages of the project.

The Northern wind is also expected to penetrate the block at podium level and exit towards the SE corner of the plot where a similar opening adjacent to the creche is ideally located to create a cross-ﬂow for air-movement.

Shading Devices in Courtyard

The areas marked red on the perspectives highlight taller volumes that form an obstacle to the Northern wind, increasing its penetration into the private and public courtyards. The height gains are evaluated against any disadvantages in overshadowing. Taller corners have been predominantly concentrated at the SW corners of courtyards or NW corners of blocks. As a result the building mass gradually steps from the North corner towards the South.

Shangri-la Barr Al Jissah Resort Muscat, Sultanate of Oman

The Barr Al jissah Resort is situated in a isolated cover 12 kilometres south of Muscat on the Quriyat coast, encircled by spectacular terrain rising to a high plateau. Previously inaccessibe by road, a four kilometer access designed by Atkins infrastructure team now snakes through the wadi beds and cuts over the jebel before descending to the resort, which consists of three hotels, a spa and a heritage centre set in a natural coastal landscape.

traditional dwellings, fortresses and souks. The interior design incorporated indigenous details, colours and artefacts while simultaneously providing all the amenities demanded of five-star accomodation.

Barr Al Jissah Resort is situated in its own cove on the Omani coastline, framed by a spectacular mountainous backdrop. The initial concept, architectural and landscape design for the resort was produced by WATG (Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo) and DLP (Derek Lovejoy Partnership) and has been subsequently developed by Atkins Middle East.

The design of the three hotels was developed from an initial concept produced by Wimberly Allison Tong and Goo and Derek Lovejoy Partnership, and draws heavily upon the vernacular architecture of Oman as expressed in

The main building components comprises a 4 star 300 key village hotel – Al Waha, a 5 star town hotel with banquet hall and conference centre – Al Bandar and a 5 star deluxe 175

In addition the is also a Spa and Health club village, extensive landscaping with swimming pool area, lazy river and Utility compound with centralized plant, solid waste management, laundry, hotel engineering and staff facilities. The overall design philosophy is in keeping with Omani architectural cultural traditions but makes use of modern materials designed to achieve a very high level of energy efficiency through the use of thermally insulated cavity walls.
