, iki design group is an architecture and design company that is committed to developing dynamic and interactive space arrangements that are sensitive to culture and climate. The firm has won an impressive five awards across the following three projects in Iraq. Baghdad Tower is an iconic high-rise development comprising a mix of offices, hotel units, serviced apartments and retail areas. These different entities are carefully arranged around various circulation schemes throughout the upper floors of the tower. The main design inspiration was giving the city a new rising hope, resulting in a unique structure on the Baghdad skyline. The brief for Baghdad Residences was to create a high standard of living for residents
Majidi Mall
throughout multiple units. Baghdad’s urban grid pattern inspired the design which features residential towers attached to each other, yet staggered to allow openings on all four sides. Following vastu principles in their alignment, self-shadowing façades dramatically reduce heat absorption. Majidi Mall boasts a new architectural style offering a harmony between classic and modern lines in order to emphasise the historical assets of Erbil city with a contemporary edge. The 145,000m² project will accommodate stores, an anchor supermarket, cinema, entertainment areas, restaurants and cafés. Shoppers will also be enticed outside of the mall’s interiors into the surrounding sequence of spaces, forming a new public heart for the city.
