Now this, is one impressive project! :cool:

[vana8]

The latest info I have is that this project will now be 11 floors. (Basement is for bowling, 4 floors retail, 7 floors hotel - each hotel room with a small private garden). The idea is to have the main building surrounded by a forest, and have a large glass structure covering everything.

I c cause I know Bahrain loves their bowling also, packed on the weekends. I like this project, funky design.

the buildings exterior reminds me too much of Herzog and Demeroun's prada shop..

maybe they are the architects or someone is badly copying them

It seems like Bahrainis and Kuwaitis have quite a lot in common...Like common things that are sorta different to the other GCC countries..

this is a project that when completed will be a landmark for kuwait ..
the form of this multi-purpose building is really interesting and unconventional .. which will make people be amazed at how it will be built ..

[q8_shaggy_17]

[CrazY]

hmmmmmm,, NEVER ;p :lol:

[Drag-race]

the projrct is cancelled a long time ago

[q8_shaggy_17]

loool i didn't know that, y don't u guys post that it's cancelled?!

[Kuwaiti]

typical! :|


"lets make them happy. show them some pics. and then secretly cancel the project. dont worry... theyll forget" :lol:

[YeMeNi_guy]

that was a cool project :(

[Kuwaiti]

guys i know why it got cancelled:

because the guy making the bowling thing went against the contract.

the govt wanted a bowling centre. the planner was gonna make like a hotel, mall, shops, and then a tiny small section for bowling.

the main purpose of this project was to be a BOWLING centre, not a hotel or shopping mall. thats supposed to be a side-objective. so the guy abused his contract. so contract got terminated.

blame the people folks. the ones who just want easy profit.

[CrazY]

hmmmmm,, good thing they terminated the contract,

so know hes not even going to build the bowling center,, with the bowling center ;p ?

[Kuwaiti]

^ lol...

honestly though, the people are abusing their rights.

the govt gave him the land set on conditions:

1. your main priority is to make a bowling centre

2. side objectives are ok, but they should only contribute 30-35% of the project


its like someone building an airport with a GIGANTIC mall, 5 hotels, 6 golf courses, 1000 housing properties but only 2 jetways :lol:

[ahmedjam]

LOL, now it's canceled come on Kuwait, it was a good project, and i agree, in the render above we didn't see the bowling section, only the jugging way and the hotel ahhhhhhh.... Kuwait

[Hamad]

is it cancelled?!

the owner is ( Shaikh majid jaber alhomoud alsabah )

come on guys, the construction will start after 5 months :lol:

[CrazY]

it will be very hard to construct this without land !! :crazy:

[ahmedjam]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no it's not hard C, we will build it in the air :uh:

[YeMeNi_guy]

it will be floating?

[CrazY]
