EVERYDAY ICONS - ABU DHABI

NO. 0067 - 9 RAS GHANADAH STREET

A true everyday icon, this building is a real gem in the skyline of Abu Dhabi. Its two connected cylindrical towers, slightly offset from each other, have two faces - one overlooking the blue waters of the Arabian Gulf, the other looking out across the city. The curves continue at ground level too. I love the integrated planters (formed within smaller cylindrical volumes), and the entrance canopies borrowing from the same language.

Architect and completion date unknown.
