EVERYDAY ICONS - ABU DHABI
NO.0026 - EMIRATES POST (HAMDAN POST OFFICE), KHALIFA STREET
Standing among giants, this little building holds its own alongside its more contemporary neighbors - Le Royal Meridien Hotel and the ADNOC Distribution Headquarters. Its simple use of materials and elegantly proportioned form and structure contrasts nicely against the multi-storey glass and concrete towers that neighbour it.
Designer and date of construction unknown.
