Conversion of Office Tower to 5* Hotel.

Design for Albaker Architects, Doha.

 

In the heart of Doha’s financial district, the two Albaker towers are located in one of the most sought after areas in all of Qatar. Their location offers unparalleled access to all types of amenities and convenience for tenants and visitors.

The Albaker Tower 2 was initially designed as an office tower, but the Albaker Investments/Albaker Architects team is looking into converting it into an Upscale / Luxury hotel, by extending the first 4 levels with cca 30-40% in order to accommodate the new requirements and transforming the other levels according to the new purpose.

The design focuses on creating a dialogue between the existing tower and the podium extension needed for the amenities and services required in a 5* hotel.
The podium extension follows contemporary lines and a complex silhouette that incorporates the structure in the façade, along with a customized design reflecting the hosted program.
