6. The Park Development is a premium mixed - use project with three main
components:
• 5 Star Hotel
• Corporate Offices
• High-end Retail spaces

7. One half hotel and one half office, different in nature, function and aesthetics
but harmonious as one unit.
1:500 SCALE at A3
The OFFICE, functional and pragmatic, is subdued in its rectilinear form and responds to neighboring Khalifa Park
with the reflection of the trees in the elevation.
The HOTEL, imaginative and symbolic, uses a combination of traditional Islamic geometric patterns and undulating
forms of sand dunes as the inspiration for its textured, irregularly-geometric form.

8. Challenged to create a unique proposal that maximizes the sites potential
and respond to its location between two roads, the building has been
designed as an object - a strong form in its own right, rather than a piece of
urban infill that has hidden elevations.

9. The perception of the building from all angles will therefore become
important along with the changing views one will see from passing cars and
act as a way finder or landmark for people going in and out of the City.

11. The development of the design
concepts have evolved through
close consideration of the
environmental performance criteria
which are essential to the ongoing
sustainability of the building and
landscape.

characteristic of the desert sand &
the aesthetic symbolism of Islamic
Architecture

15. Distinction: the building is redefining a landmark location at Abu Dhabi's main gateway and gives new dimension to
low-rise urban landmarks amidst the wild obsession with high-rise 'landmarks'.

16. Contextual: shaped by its peculiar longitudinal site and distinct functions, the building responds to its urban,
cultural and functional context by respecting the opposites.

17. Sensitivity: Like an oasis in the desert, the building brings together opposites that attract: order and chaos,
trees and sand dunes, the regular and irregular forms, leisure and business, rational and imaginative

‘LATTICE’ FAMILY
Hotel elevation is completed with lattices. Each lattice is an instance of the ‘Lattice’ family with in the Revit file.
This family is a ‘Plane based’ family and was developed using the Plane based Generic model Revit template. The
parameters of this family are based upon triangular section and the variables are the height and the width of the
Triangular section at each end. The length of the member is also set as a parameter of the family. Please note that
since all the parameters of this family are Instance Parameters the variables are available on the Instances.
