Office and retail building Lu

Architectural project

The building has been designed to reflect the natural surroundings and benefit from all its qualities, including the inherent challenges. The solar radiation in Qatar while being an exceptional resource, poses significant problems. All the architectural choices, from the shape, materials and the use of technology, are focused on solving these problems. The building combines new technology with principles from the past: the insulation, the internal ventilation, the study of shadows and natural light and all the energy sources have been carefully considered to minimize the environmental impact.
