Mashrabiya Lattice Office Tower
A 20-storey office tower on a three-storey podium with about 24,000 m² of lettable offices. A white GRC lattice inspired by the mashrabiya wraps the curtain walls and shades the whole building, cutting the cooling load and giving it a clear identity on the skyline. A triple-height lobby with a carved stone wall and a green wall.
A concept designed by Arab Creators, not a built project.

Materials and details

Design idea
The mashrabiya lattice is environmental before it is identity: an outer layer that shades the curtain wall, cutting the cooling load and allowing clearer glass inside. On the skyline the tower reads as one white piece, and in the lobby the carved stone carries the same idea.
Programme
20 office floors on a three-storey podium, about 24,000 m² lettable, with open floors and as few internal columns as possible. A triple-height lobby with a green wall, and separate entries for parking and loading.
Build and upkeep
The lattice is precast GRC panels fixed to a steel frame separate from the curtain wall, with a maintenance gap between them. Repeated units from a few moulds keep fabrication cost down, and dust and washing are studied from the start.
