Project Description

Plot size – 25000 sqm
Built up area – 81000 sqm

 

It is the landscape itself that produced the buildings: they grow from the very fabric of Bahrain and work in visual and environmental harmony with her. These structures live and breathe: they welcome visitors: they contain and entertain their inhabitants: they coruscate in the strong clear light of the gulf, and sparkle with points of light at night. The design of the complex inspired by line in movement. The building facade is designed to interact between the open spaces and the interior retail spaces. Upon first impression, the continuous metallic surface seems to convey a monumental presence but it is actually a porous layer composed of triangulated panels uniquely sized and cut. The gradient transparencies of the perforated panels unveil the underlying framework and the atrium behind which serves as an intermediate public space. At night, the lighting dematerializes the facade and creates an inviting glow. The complex is breathtaking in the modernity and panache of their design, but they are also gentle and humane. This development will certainly take its place amongst its peers in the panoply of Global Landmark Architecture: something for Bahrain to be proud of and recognized by, where business and beauty are practicality and intelligence combine. It will be the first significant mall with a residential tower : this building will announce to the World the sophistication, the innovation and the imagination that now prevail here. Superbly well located on the highway from the airport and KSA on Tubli Bay, marveling, through the internal gardens: diners and shoppers will know that they are entering a new and very special world: the world of The Waves Complex: we commend it to you.
