Desert Box Centre

Desert Box is a small mixed-use center for shops and offices located in Madinat Zayed City, an oasis city in the middle of the desert in the Western Emirate of Abu Dhabi. UPA Italia UPA Italia The customer's idea was to make the architecture look like commercial transport boxes, so as to give the project uniqueness and character, despite the simple functional program. The use of standard dimensions derives from the boxes. This meant that composite volumes and façade projections could be created like a sort of toy volumes. This allowed to give the building a less rigid and more informal look. UPA Italia UPA Italia On the ground floor there are spaces for shops and possibly small cafeterias on the street. On the u...

Asma AlShayha

Bulgari Pavilion

The BVLGARI pavilion is a temporary installation commissioned by the luxury jewellery brand for Abu Dhabi Art 2012. The project was conceived as an exclusive and private venue and was required to be both representative of the firm’s style and its creative ideologies, whilst being emblematic of a “modern mythology”. NANA NANA NANA The design of the pavilion aimed to be both reminiscent of BVLGARI’s Italian heritage whilst being representative of its own fabrication and structure. A design based upon the packing of acrylic tubes was devised. Although they have a diverse range of uses they are rarely used as principal architectural elements.

Al Wathba Birdwalk

While there are countless examples of bird watching structures around the world, there are none dedicated to the observation of flamingos in their nesting habitats. Traditional birdwatch structures tend to take enthusiasts up in altitude close to the tree canopies where birds nest and rest. These structures are often located in remote forested areas and tend to be camouflaged to avoid scaring the birds away.For the Al Wathba observation structure, we are presented with a very different challenge, this is not a conventional bird watching tower as Flamingos tend to stay in the ground close to the salty bodies of water which are their food source, building their nests close to the shore. It takes up to thirty days for the eggs to hatch and par... More

Rotana Park

In a unique capital city, the one of the United Arab Emirates, commercial and professional activities coexist with recreation and luxury. Its style remains strict but highlights at the same time a construction full of luxury, with steady and rigid architectural lines. Visible concrete emphasizes the rigidness and lets the shadows play with the light on the facade of the building when the sun sets and the night settles. Structural elements such as metal, glass and cement are perfectly and smoothly blended together, through a combination, which looks forward into keeping intact both the building’s proportions and local character. Guests enjoy the unobstructed view towards the nearby park to the west side of the building as well as the natural... More

Forsan Central

Forsan Central inspiration has been taken from a bamboo forest to create a “Garden in the City” theme. The natural reference has been adopted playfully on the building’s distinctive façade through a sequence of vertical green and brown coated aluminium pipes that recall the image of a forest. It is also present inside the building with cafés, bars and restaurants immersed in a green park under one of the region’s largest geodetic skylights, that will ultimately give the whole project an outdoor feel.

MANGROVE PLACE

The development of the terraced tower allowed us to create a form that would break the monotony of the residential towers and compact monotone Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi and at the same time to have apartments with generous terraces overlooking the sea. The trend of stepped terraces also allows you to undo the sense of vertigo that you have on towers of this height and the apartments with a head for excellent visibility, unique to the city of Abu Dhabi. Jon Wallis The building, which is spread over 29 floors, of which two of the podium, with 3 levels of underground parking, consists of 481 apartments and duplexes of various sizes, commercial spaces, public facilities such as swimming pool and gymnasium, 600 parking spaces, for a tota...
