PROJECT UPDATE
UAE
The Maryah Residential Tower is a 38-storey
development located at Al Maryah Island,
Abu Dhabi. The project responds to the different
conditions on each side of the plot, by slightly turning
towards the widest view angles. The volume will utilise
the site`s attributes and create an exciting sensation to the
users. The internal qualities are reflected on the exterior and
will provide an attractive residential environment without
visual disturbance to its surroundings. The lower podium is
‘cut’ diagonally with a grand triangular staircase in order
to connect the promenade with the main street levels.
This will benefit not only the urban perspective but
the retail areas and give the building lots of
memorable visual interest and character.
OMAN
There are plans to expand Salalah Airport, the second
largest airport in Oman. This involves upgrading it from
primarily being a domestic airport to making it more suitable
for international travellers, including building a new runway
long enough to handle the latest aircraft in the world, including
the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the A380 Airbus. A new
terminal will improve the airport’s capacity to one million
passengers annually. The airport has been designed to allow
for further expansions to cater for future growth when
demand is required.
