This new headquarters building is located in the middle of up-town West Bay area of Doha. The building is distinctive in character, reflecting the growing economy of Qatar without losing sight of the country's heritage and traditional architectural style.
A key feature of the building is the 120m high mashrabiya that is embraced by two arms that almost meet at the peak of the tower, creating a gateway that signals the opening of an unlimited future for this vividly emerging nation. The subtle and modern mashrabiya-effect is achieved through the clever use of textures, colours and patterns in the external glazed skin. Traditional features are further apparent in the arcade of the podium at ground level of the building.
