King Palm Residential Mixed-Use Tower Mohammed Bin Zayed City, United Arab Emirates

Design inspiration came from the shared desire by owner and architect to synthetically combine gentle geometry of local natural elements with contemporary materials. Verticality of the building has been emphasized while carefully proportioning the stepped form of the structure. Simbolic connection to the desert with its palms and dunes is behind forms of the elements. The tower features a mixture of uses including residential, commercial and retail. Commercial and public uses are located in the podium that is scaled and fenestrated to define the street and enrich pedestrian experience.

The project is a part of the new satellite city expanding the Greater Abu Dhabi municipality. Moderate to Design aims to contribute to the growing cultural fabric of the rapidly developing community.

The King Palm tower is designed with a Middle Eastern sensitivity to rhythm and pattern.
