Located at one of the key entrances to Abu Dhabi, The Park is unique in creating a distinctive design for this key site while maximizing the sites potential

THE PARK DEVELOPMENT Area Schedule


THE PARK DEVELOPMENT GROUND PLAN

1:500 SCALE at A3


The Design Scheme provides 250 keys for a courtyard by Marriott Hotel, health club, retail and ground level and circa 21,000 sqm. of high end commercial office space over ten levels.

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

THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FIRST FLOOR

1:500 SCALE at A3


One half hotel and one half office, different in nature, function and aesthetics but harmonious as one unit.

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.

THE PARK DEVELOPMENT THIRD FLOOR

1:500 SCALE at A3


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.

THE PARK DEVELOPMENT TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN

1:500 SCALE at A3


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.

THE PARK DEVELOPMENT SECTION A – A1:500 SCALE at A3


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.

Sculpture: The elegant architecture begins with carving out unusual forms from a simple rectangular volume constrained by site limits.

Simplicity: concept emphasizes the simple but commanding form of the building, & its two distinct functions.

THE PARK DEVELOPMENT


Office Entrance Façade: Characterizes the rectilinear pattern enthused by the functional aspect of a corporate environment

Hotel Entrance Façade: inspired by the innovative & ever-changing characteristic of the desert sand & the aesthetic symbolism of Islamic Architecture



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'.



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

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.
