Located on a prominent site in Kuwait City, the 300-meter-high headquarters tower for the National Bank of Kuwait will have a distinctive presence among the high-rise buildings of Sharq, the city’s growing financial district. The design combines structural innovation with a highly efficient passive form, shielding the offices from the extremes of Kuwait's climate, where temperatures average 40 degrees in the summer months.
The tower’s cylindrical form opens like a shell to the north to avoid solar gain, while revealing views of the Arabian Gulf. The southern façade is shaded by a series of #concrete fins, which extend the full #height of the tower to provide structural support.
The crescent form maximizes cellular office space at the perimeter, and the tower’s sixty floors are punctuated by three double-height sky lobbies.
