Bahrain Bay Apartments

Bahrain, 2008

The floor plate of the individual apartment towers assumes an elliptical form which is then rotated to maximise exposure to the site’s spectacular views. The façades are highly modulated to achieve a human scale and to effect shading. All apartments have balconies, many of which are enclosed to form cool “summer gardens” – the opposite of the cold-climate “wintergarden”. The development utilises podium rather than basement parking to elevate the main structures, affording even the lower-level apartments an excellent aspect and access to sea breezes. All residences are situated near to extensive landscaped outdoor areas and communal facilities, including a health club.
