Al Bahr Towers Floor Plan

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.

Al bahr towers floor plan.

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. 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. Clusters of triangular screens on the al bahr towers form the shape of large flowers blossoming across the two 26 story buildings. The aedas studio was chosen to design the new headquarters of the abu dhabi investment council after an international competition for the commission.

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. 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. In some floors the space is divided into cellular offices and meeting rooms. The plan of the towers is based on six tangential arcs taken from three intersecting circles a pattern which forms the basis of nearly all geometric configurations known to the region.

These configurations have been applied as part of the innovative mashrabiya like façade creating an appealing and practical design. Each tower has a two level basement with 24 story office space that includes catering auditoria prayer rooms gymnasium and plant rooms. 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. Their starting point was two cylindrical towers.

A circular form was proposed for its efficiency of wall to floor area and reduced amount of surface area which was then refined itera. The tower floor is open plan office spaces with service core.
