Project Overview
Client Background
Zohan Trading PLC, a leading architectural and interior design firm specializing in high-performing, iconic built environments, collaborated with Dema Hope Real Estate on this landmark development. As a progressive real estate developer specializing in highly efficient and functional spaces, the client’s vision for this project is to redefine modern downtown living through innovative design, sustainability, and high-end facilities tailored to a dynamic urban market.
Objective
The design masterfully navigates the site's sloped terrain, resulting in an elevation profile of Semi-B+G+21. The project integrates functional residential units with ‘low car traffic magnet’ amenities, such as a laundry and restaurant, to maximize land value and provide an efficient, premium living environment for residents.
Scope
Design a 20-story commercial building with a mix of office spaces, meeting areas, and amenities.
Include green terraces, a rooftop lounge, and eco-conscious design elements.
Ensure the infrastructure supports advanced technological needs and future scalability.
