Al Bateen Hotel & Residences Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi

Expertise:

The Al Bateen Wharf is designed as a five-star business hotel and high-rise condominium in Abu Dhabi. In addition to the main hotel and apartments, there are extensive five-star amenities such as restaurants and coffee shops. The facility also includes a large conference center, banquet hall, health club, and spa. There are a number of water features and swimming pools along with several sidewalk cafes on the waterfront promenade. The design opts for simple volumes wrapped with a fluid and transparent veil-like screen. While maintaining visual transparency, the screen creates a sustainable building through the use of diffused natural lighting, façade elements to achieve energy savings by passive cooling, and shielding from intense sun. The design also carefully considers natural and local materials in relation with marine life.
