About
THE PROJECT
As a distinguished landmark in Qatar’s seaside skyline, the Qship Tower consists of two triangular towers reflecting a hyperspace covered with several layers of greenery, while tracing the podiums with two pedestrian accesses and two vehicle entrances. The Qship Towers represent a unique strong force within its surrounding urban fabric, where the human experience is enhanced with penetrated access from the city-side to the seaside, a supreme sea-view, water features, a pedestrian entrance and natural elements, while the glass façades are articulated by concrete screens as if they are embracing the towers and moving smoothly with their revolving shapes in a sustainable model.
