Al Jaidah Square Office Centre - The union of timeless architecture and integrated technology.

Al Jaidah Square Office Centre - The union of timeless architecture and integrated technology.

In our recent article regarding Christian Kerez's new project in Zhengzhou, China, we discussed how office architecture can be utilized to create a more productive and healthy work environment for companies and this article is highlighting another project that is achieving this in a different part of the world - The Al Jaidah Square business centre, 63 Airport Road, Doha, Qatar.

Architecture

It is obvious from first glance that the recently opened Al Jaidah Square business centre in Doha, Qatar, is not your ordinary serviced office centre.  The ornate and beautiful ground-floor gives way to a slightly foreboding yet unapologetically futuristic upper-level design anesthetic that is hard to ignore and strangely pleasing to look at. The brainchild of Keith Hobbs of United Designers, 'Jaidah Square infuses traditional and modern elements to create a striking building that simultaneously embraces and redefines Qatar’s architectural landscape'. The simplified geometric Naqsh panels create a strong visual reference to traditional Qatari and Islamic architecture whilst the stark angles of the glazed exterior give a hint of the modern technology and architectural approach that lies within.

Environmental credentials

With the growing pressure on natural resources and a requirement to keep running costs down it was essential to build not only a visually ground-breaking building but also one that had a synergy with both it's surroundings and it's occupants. The architects cleverly incorporated state-of-the-art glazing techniques to ensure that energy loss from the building was kept to an absolute minimum whilst the interior IT and networking systems were designed from the ground up to be as efficient as possible. The pigmented class reduced cooling requirements and allows for the interior to remain light and spacious without suffering from the green house effect that an abundance of glass can cause.

Technology

Whilst the technology that went into building this centre is quite astounding, so to is the thought and investment that went into how the internal space was equipped for modern business practices.  All  networking and IT infrasturucture has been meticulously planned in order to be flexible, power efficient yet upgradeable.  Boardrooms and meeting rooms have been thought about in great detail to create seamless and integrated access to information throughout the building.

Interiors

To create a holistic design it was important that the well-being of it's occupants was carefully considered whilst designing the interior of the Al Jaidah Square Office Centre.  The concept behind the design works to create a synergistic relationship between the building and it's occupants, changing light levels, temperature and digital resources based on the needs of those using them. The centre is equipped with a reactive lighting system that can detect the needs of a particular space and time and provide a suitable level and type of light without energy wastage or action on the part of tenants.  There is also a fully automated parking system which again takes the responsibility away from the occupant and delivers an efficient and convenient solution that makes every day life in this space such a pleasure.  This care for the tenant is rounded off by a fitness centre that has been designed from the ground up as a space to promote both the mental and physical well-being of those that spend a good proportion of their lives in this building.

In the words of it's creators 'We understand that design is always a balance of form and function, it’s not enough to just create a building that looks good, it has to perform and exceed expectations'.
