The site of 16,650 sq.m enjoys a strategic location with scenic views to Khalifa Park, Abu Dhabi.

By creating a void within the building mass a strong visual axis is established and an iconic architectural identity is defined. Moreover, the void helps to reduce the bulkiness of the building mass supported by the vertical layering of the elevations.

The functional complexity of the building has driven the sculpting of the building mass with its different layers. The outcome is an orchestrated massing responding efficiently to the various functional requirements that reach an overall area of 95,000 sq.m.

Elevations are designed to exhibit consistency in their architectural treatment, in terms of details, materials, proportions, and colours, and to shape a cohesive building image. However, the specificity of each elevation is considered in terms of orientation and view signifying 360-degree architecture.
