The main conceptual idea is to create the project’s morphology breaking the surrounding urban context and being very iconic but highly integrated with it, using the pedestrian paths crossing the landscape topography will increasethe coming flow and respect the nature growth.

In Order to respect the site’s potentials, we decided to keep the green corridor safe and linked with the roof plaza making it useful and creating fast shortcut between West and East.

The design inspired by the Kaaba “Qibla “ as a main attraction for the site that everything is pointed toward it’s Direction, that shows the highly respect of this holistic idea.
