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.
FOOTPRINT
MASSING
SCALE
Vida Dubai Mall Hotel, Serviced Apartments and Branded Residences Downtown Boulevard, Dubai The design explores a composition which not only optimizes views for the hotel and service apartments but also strives to present a powerful expression appropriate to its role as a gateway. Although the towers are not the tallest objects on the Boulevard, their slenderness gives the edges a very strong vertical appearance. These edges are focused toward the intersection, becoming the fi rst elements one would see upon entering Downtown at this node. The towers vary in height, with the taller tower closest to the Burj Khalifa and stepping the other tower down towards the intersection. The towers, which fan open, to increase space between them while engaging in a dynamic “dance” embracing their role into Downtown Dubai.

Plot 114 Commercial Downtown Boulevard Dubai Being in such a prominent location, we have placed Office Tower 1 next to the road junction to create a strong architectural presence. The tower is aligned perpendicular to Burj Dubai Boulevard so that it is on a north west / south east axis which will minimise solar gain from the afternoon sun. Office Tower 2 is placed lengthways parrallel to the Boulevard so as to maximise views of the Burj Dubai Tower and away from the surrounding adjacent towers. The podium contains double height retail units along Burj Dubai Boulevard and each office tower has an impresive triple height lobby which will open out onto a large covered vehicle drop off area. Above each lobby are prayer rooms for the building users. The rest of the podium is car park space, accessed from the service road. A large podium roof garden is provided for the office users with excellent views towards the Burj Dubai and central lake. The office towers have a central core to ensure 360 degree panoramic views and allow for potential sub-division of floors. The podium is adjacent to the Garden Gateway and so the facade treatment will compliment the sculptural form rather than compete with it for attention. A simple, refined design is preferred.

The northeast and southeast facing elevations are not as strongly affected by the heat of the sun and so their louvres are orientated perpendicular to the facade to allow for better views. The louvres to the southwest and northwest elevations are orientated to deflect the harsh heat and rays of the afternoon sun yet there are still good views across to the Burj Dubai and beyond to the Arabian Gulf.

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.

ORIENTATION AND ZONING SKETCHES
ARCHITECTURAL MODEL
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:
WIND TUNNEL TESTING
•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.
Standing an impressive 63 storeys high and featuring 196 lavish rooms and 626 serviced residences, The Address Downtown Dubai offers an extensive range of gourmet experiences, modern meeting and event venues, a signature Spa, a fully equipped Fitness Centre, chilled pools and indulgent amenities and services. 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.
PROJECT SITE
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.

Millenium Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
Millennium Tower (Bright Start Tower) occupies a prominent position on a plot adjacent to the Sheikh Zayed road in Dubai. The tower responds to the clients demand for a modern building to cater for a continuing demand for high quality residential accommodation. Comprising G+59 storeys, the tower provides a total built-up area of 99,800m2 including the associated multi-story car park. A total of 301 three bedroom apartments and 106 two bedroom apartments are provided on 55 typical floors with retail space on the ground and mezzanine floors. The building services are accommodated on the 10th, 30th and 50th floors. 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.
Chelsea (Al Salam) Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
Chelsea tower is prominently located on a prime business plot on the Sheikh Zayed Road with Dubai’s skyscraper mile. It’s simple and elegant design gives both aesthetic and spatial relief to a congested section of urban development. At 251m in height, the building comprises of a G+50 storey residential tower and separate multi-level car park. The residential tower comprises 86 two bedroom apartments and 172 three bedroom apartments on 46 typical floors. The three lower floors will accommodate 24 one bedroom apartments with retail space on the ground floor. The building services are accommodated on the 19th, 35th and 49th floors. The car park building provides 347 parking bays on nine floors. A 25m long swimming pool, gymnasium, squash courts and changing rooms are housed on the roof of the car park building. The total built up are of the project is 65,920 sqm. 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. Suspended from the frames centre is a 40 m high needle which reaches to a height of 251m, accentuating the relief of the building form.
