A spectacular piece of sculpture in the heart of the old town
Located on a prime waterfront site along the Doha Corniche, this contemporary project is one of the latest landmarks in this city's rapidly emerging skyline. The development consists of a 7-storey high linearly arranged office block anchored by a 15-storey residential tower. The massing of the project is a direct response to the development's proximity to the water.
Abstract building forms, clad in polished and honed black granite, cantilever dramatically over a reflective pool. A sky-lit atrium featuring internal landscaped gardens traverses horizontally between the office blocks and folds up into the residential tower. Internally, public and private spaces are designed to allow natural light and provide views out to the bay.

The concept for the project was inspired by imagery of stone formations cantilevered over a body of water, to create a metamorphic link to the Persian Gulf. Clad with dark tinted glass, polished and textured natural stones tiles, the massing of the project is a direct response to the development’s proximity to the water.

With construction scheduled for completion in summer 2009, the unique architectural design of this project promises to generate debate and attract international attention.
