KEO has designed a 40 storey Commercial Tower in the main commercial area in Kuwait. The site is located in a very prominent commercial area on Fahad Al Salem Street. The Design reflects the ongoing economic and commercial development
of the country. At the same time the design provides successful resolutions of adaptive design strategies related to the environmental, urban, cultural and functional aspects. Ground Floor and Mezzanine provide retail-shopping areas. Office space is provided in upper 34 floors.

The total built up area is around 17,000m2. Parking is provided in the basement. Some of the benefits of the design include floors without the obtrusive pillar engineering design, which allows for duplex office areas.

that street need massive reconstruction, most of the buildings there are so old and ugly that they compeletly wreck the mood ...and are visually upsetting ..towers like this one and rakan tower are good steps towards reshaping the landscape of the city.

we need more original designes though..

you guys look at this link, a tower proposal at some russian city and be amazed..
