Serving an important social function, the campus architecture supports a new platform for connection.

In a vertical, urban community where neighbours often experience solitary lifestyles, this interaction is vital. Indoor play areas geared to enhancing children’s gross motor skills and the creation of multi-purpose rooms that adapt to both active and passive uses featuring a dynamic, “active” green roof – complete with a basketball court, jogging track and urban gardens. Functioning as a natural extension of the adjacent Canoe Landing Park, the sloping green roofs sculpturally address both aesthetics and functionality, creating a “fifth elevation” rather than a typical roof.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The proposed design incorporates the elements of the Asharqia Chambers humble logo, which represents the sail of a traditional dhow. This minimalist logo has paved way to the design of a possible iconic and distinctive building in Dammam. The podium level floors are designed to be the hull, and the tower façade is designed to mimic the billowing sail of the boat itself.

An architectural feature that represents the mast has been added to fulfil the concept of a sailing boat. A continuous canopy feature runs along the front and depicts waves in the sea and also lends a more dynamic appeal to the overall structure. The typical floors have a varying slab profile to cater to the façade which depicts the sail and each floor will be divided into 2 large office spaces which can be leased by client. The top of podium floor is comparable to the ‘bow of a boat’ where in lush landscape doubles up as an outbreak area for the tenants. It could also double up as an outdoor space to have gatherings when the weather is more favourable.

RIVER CITY PHASE 4 HARRIS SQUARE The fourth and final phase of the award-winning River City development, Continuing River City’s penchant for bold forms, the building is designed as a series of pentagonal plates circulating as they rise, reflecting the five sides of the site, and allowing for oversized balconies and terraces on many floors. Responding to its context, the building connects Lawren-Harris Square with Underpass Park by lifting itself up at the ground level, creating a relatively column free 6 metre high open space between the two public spaces and providing sunlight and views to the 155 units. Half of the ground level is publicly accessible and provides a pedestrian connection to Underpass Park. The pallette and materials will be similar to those found on earlier phases. Lower levels will be dominated by cast in place concrete—mirroring the supports of the Eastern Avenue flyover to the north. On upper levels, a dark smoked glass will front the angular balconies, with clear glass on the walls. Occasional highlights of metal panels are used for solid wall cladding, while at ground level green glass will be the background for the park spaces.

CANOE LANDING COMMUNITY CAMPUS & SCHOOL The new Canoe Landing Campus houses a $65M community recreation centre, public and Catholic elementary schools and a childcare centre within one innovative campus.

Serving an important social function, the campus architecture supports a new platform for connection.

In a vertical, urban community where neighbours often experience solitary lifestyles, this interaction is vital.

Indoor play areas geared to enhancing children’s gross motor skills and the creation of multi-purpose rooms that adapt to both active and passive uses featuring a dynamic, “active” green roof – complete with a basketball court, jogging track and urban gardens. Functioning as a natural extension of the adjacent Canoe Landing Park, the sloping green roofs sculpturally address both aesthetics and functionality, creating a “fifth elevation” rather than a typical roof.
