6. Airport road in Abu Dhabi has been chosen as a site
for this project within an area of (45x60) m² & a park-
ing lot above the grade for the commercial use.
The building has been adjusted & oriented according
to the north side & some view considerations (the
shore) to accomplish the maximum comfort for the
whole building.
This suggested the shape of the building, which is
diverted from the square shape & divided into 4 small
squares & the southern square was subtracted for
the lack of view & sunlight, the 3 other squares were
shifted from each other in order to provide extra sun,
ventilation, view & space for each apartment. Some
variations occurred in the shape of the apartments to
reach the maximum possible choices (sizes of balco-
nies, number of window openings and some space
variations) and to give a dynamic appearance for the
building.
A mall located 5 stories above grade consists of a
number of shops, an underground parking of 3 sto-
ries for residential use. A modular system of (1.2 &
3.6) has been used in designing the apartments & the
parking lots (typical apartments & duplex apartments)
and a(4.8) for the mall as a public space. Light colored
materials have been used in respond to the climatic
region.
