Al Bahr Towers Floor Plan

The circular plan form was articulated to reduce solar exposure on the most heavily exposed elevations and in so doing began to generate a natural orientation.

Al bahr towers floor plan.

A circle producing the most efficient form in terms of wall to floor area whilst also creating the greatest volume with the least surface area. Each tower has a two level basement with 24 story office space that includes catering auditoria prayer rooms gymnasium and plant rooms. The design for the project began with two simple cylinders because the circular plan giving the most efficient floor area usage while also creating the greatest volume with the least surface area which will highly reduce the sun exposure surface area. The plan of the towers is based on six tangential arcs taken from three intersecting circles a pattern which forms the basis of nearly all geometric configurations known to the region.

It is located at the intersection of al saada and al salam street in abu dhabi city the capital of the united arab emirates at the eastern entrance.
