Al Bahr Towers Floor Plan

Their starting point was two cylindrical towers.

Al bahr towers floor plan.

The design for the project began with two simple cylinders because the circular plan giving the most efficient floor area usage while also creating the greatest volume with the least surface area which will highly reduce the sun exposure surface area. These configurations have been applied as part of the innovative mashrabiya like façade creating an appealing and practical design. Their starting point was two cylindrical towers. The aedas studio was chosen to design the new headquarters of the abu dhabi investment council after an international competition for the commission.

The two 25 floor office towers have capacity for between 1000 and 1100 employees in each. The design concept is both culturally and environmentally appropriate and meets the goals of the 2030 development plan for abu dhabi which was recently published. Al bahr towers is a development in the emirate of abu dhabi consisting of two 29 storey 145m high towers. The tower floor is open plan office spaces with service core.

The circular plan form was articulated to reduce solar exposure on the most heavily exposed elevations and in so doing began to generate a natural orientation.

Clusters of triangular screens on the al bahr towers form the shape of large flowers blossoming across the two 26 story buildings. In designing the two towers the approach considered the renewed interest in energy efficiency in abu dhabi as well as the desire to use modern technology to meet their goals.

A circle producing the most efficient form in terms of wall to floor area whilst also creating the greatest volume with the least surface area. A circular form was proposed for its efficiency of wall to floor area and reduced amount of surface area which was then refined itera. Precisely 2 098 facade units each weighing 1 5 tons are cantilevered 2 8 meters off the building s surface to allow access for window cleaning and shading system maintenance.
