Concept

The architectural complex concept draws inspiration from the culture, traditions, and history of the United Arab Emirates. The center's new look evokes traditional desert tent imagery — light and airy yet providing coolness.

The complex's retail pavilions resemble sand dunes of the desert landscape. The tallest one serves as an observation deck that, like a sandy hill, rises above the water and offers unique views of the complex.

Facade

The exhibition complex facade presents a contemporary interpretation of these images, resembling digital fabric fluttering in the wind. The facade's dynamism is achieved through metal tubes, flowing forms, and RGB lighting that adapts to event themes.

Interior

The minimalist interior conveys a sense of luxury without veering into ostentatious opulence, instead imbuing the space with sensuality and comfort. The atrium serves as a buffer zone — a free space with organic volumes, curved lines, and spiraling circulation areas flooded with sunlight.

The 200-room hotel is one of the complex's key components. The structure consists of staggered floors arranged in a checkerboard pattern, forming atrium spaces with water views.
