NORR has been retained as the Design Architect for the Al Sour Office Tower located in downtown Kuwait.

The 24-storey building features on-grade retail and a 5-storey atrium space within the office floors.The atrium provides a unique quasi-public space within the body of the tower and includes a restaurant, a café, and a lounge area.

The tower consists of a series of floating curved glass forms suspended over an emerging glass core to create a signature element within the city.

Sorry, Crazy, for using and editing your photo :colgate:

good shot mxxy :cheers:

thanx MxXy :)

some people will disagree with me on this, but the red mosque should go away! :ohno:

im not trying to open a religious discussion, im only saying this as apart of the enivorment and the visual pollution the mosque is making.

I THENK THE PROPLEM WITH THIS MASJED IS ITS COLOR , IT SOULD BE PAINTED WITH OFF WHITE OR CREAM COLOR

^^ yup change d color, n make the minarets into supertalls.. :D

7th of March
some clever play with the facade... the curved front keeps changing color as you drive by... when you're facing it the top bit of the tower reflects the street so it looks almost black...
