- Scope
Located on a prominent site in Kuwait City, and Designed by Foster and Partners, the 300-meter-high headquarters tower for the National Bank of Kuwait will have a distinctive presence among the high-rise buildings of Sharq. The design combines structural innovation with a highly efficient passive form, shielding the offices from the extremes of Kuwait's climate, where temperatures average 40 degrees in the summer months.
The tower’s cylindrical form opens like a shell to the north to avoid solar gain, while revealing views of the Arabian Gulf. The southern Façade is shaded by a series of concrete fins, which extend the full height of the tower to provide structural support.The crescent form maximizes cellular office space at the perimeter, and the tower’s sixty floors are punctuated by three double-height sky lobbies.
