Doha Tower, High-rise office building in West Bay, Doha, Qatar.
This 238-meter tower features 46 floors with a cylindrical form and an exterior facade composed of aluminum panels arranged in Islamic geometric patterns that reduce solar heat absorption.
The building was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel and constructed between 2005 and 2012, with an official opening in 2008 and completion cost of approximately 125 million dollars.
The facade design incorporates traditional mashrabiya screen patterns with overlapping aluminum panels that create varying opacity levels, reflecting Islamic architectural heritage through modern engineering and contemporary geometric interpretation.
The tower contains 23 elevators serving office spaces across its 46 floors, with three underground parking levels accommodating around 870 vehicles exclusively for tenants and building occupants.
The structure eliminates a central core and uses reinforced concrete diagrid columns forming an X-shaped support system every eight floors, allowing greater interior spatial flexibility for office arrangements.
