THE AXIOM TOWN

Axiom Town is a combination of five major functions: executive offices, a research institute, a knowledge center, a hotel, and a retail sales center for Axiom Telecom in Dubai. The act of connecting is core to the message of Axiom, and the project provides an architectural metaphor for this vision. The dominating theme of the project is the bridge-like span

connecting the four departments, with meeting functions and retail organized along the span.

This design allows for the metal and concrete frame to be interwoven with warm wood tones, soaring ceilings, interior water features, terraces, and gardens under the ‘bridge.’ The project consists of 17,720 square meters of offices, including

almost 3,000 square meters of connecting meeting rooms, break-out spaces, and lounges.

At the twist of the building, the outdoor plaza/promenade connects all the functions and the main entrance to the parking garages. The plaza is open to serve not only visitors to Axiom Town, but also people from the Dubai Silicon Oasis and from

all over Dubai.

The Gemini

The Gemini – the Twins of the Zodiac - follows the example in the stars by providing a balance of living and working accommodations within the same firmament. The mixed-use combination of office space and hotel residences is enhanced by retail business space at the ground floor facing the adjacent streets. The project is designed to allow the hotel and office

functions to “engage” themselves at the perpendicular, creating a lofty exterior atrium and the point of connection.

Ruwais Town

Located along the Gulf shore, approximately 200 kilometres west of Abu Dhabi, Ruwais is one of the most modern industrial centers in the Middle East. Along this pristine stretch of water, a number of hotels are situated adjacent to oil refineries, chemical plants, and other industries. Over the next 20 years, the eastern region, including Ruwais, will be

developed as a major energy center for the UAE.

The master plan proposes an organized city with components arranged in a way that ensures comfortable living within a single neighbourhood. It caters to family living, with high-end commercial, residential, and entertainment districts all within a

short distance of the main source of employment—the UAE Civil Nuclear Power Program. Connected along the natural waterfront, each district features pedestrian paths that feed toward the sea, where residents can enjoy a variety of aquatic

sports along a vibrant boardwalk.

BLU PLAZA CRYSTAL HOTEL

facilities for visitors, as well as residents of the industrial area.

Visitors arrive at the central plaza, where they find a warm and bright atmosphere. The hotel is characterized by a façade composed of blue panel blinds; these slide over the glass windows on all floors, creating a moving mosaic.

ECO POINT, SAADIYAT ISLAND

The sales center at Saadiyat Island is composed of a cluster of tropical-inspired buildings, including a clubhouse, chalet, administration office, pool lounge, and other amenities. A revision of the existing layout allowed a beautiful and cost-

effective transition to a sales center complex. The existing building was preserved, with the exception of the windows, which were enlarged to open the view to the Gulf.

The juxtaposition of a clean, modern interior with the existing Balinese-style roofs, rough sawn pine exterior façades, and

Meranti wood doors allows the sales center to have both pleasing aesthetics and seamless functionality.

ADM COMMUNITY MARKET

Located in Khalifa City A, the aims of the 7,000-square meter ADM Community Market project are twofold: to provide much-needed community facilities for one of Abu Dhabi’s fastest-growing developments, and to make a seamless interface

with the soon-to-be-developed recreation facility and park on grade. The market is an opportunity to provide convenient neighborhood retail, community amenity, and food and beverage outlets for local residents.

The building is intended to include retail establishments that complement the recreational gardens on the ground level, as well as two stories of food and beverage outlets and government services, all commanding a prominent view of the new

park. Community facilities will also form part of the development program, and will include public amenities such as a library, lecture hall, multi-use sports hall, community pool, fitness suite and spa, nursery, children’s play area, public toilets,

changing rooms, showers and lockers, and other operational facilities

THE ISLAND A Private Resort Extension with 104 Rooms, Hotel and Spa

A 20-minute boat ride from Abu Dhabi lies the beautiful desert island of Bahraini Island. To the north eastern part of the Island, Emirates Land Group is building this luxurious 104-key five star beach resort, Bahraini Island Retreat, which houses 52 luxury suites and 52 private beach-front villas. Built over shallow waters, its remote, yet easily accessible, location is its

principal appeal to city dwellers seeking respite and rejuvenation in a natural setting.

The concept design, sees low rise luxury villas designed in the theme of decadent royal Bedouin tents. A fundamental part of the resort's appeal is its purity and organic architecture, and its compliance with LEED concepts in the detailing and use of fabric structures - a key factor in keeping the environmental impact to a minimum, while maximizing the efficiency and

aesthetics of the resort. -
