Lobby Design

This is a lobby design that I did for the tallest building in Sharjah located next to the Kasbah district in Buhairah.

Eagle Five Plaza is the tallest building in Sharjah.  It looks over Buhairah and Kasbah the two most wonderful places in the United Arab Emirates.

The views are breathtaking.  This is a place where you want to spend all of your time.  Everything is within a walking distance.  Restaurants, cinema, parks, shopping malls, health clubs, amusement park etc.




The idea behind the lobby is to create a feeling of nature as the skylight looks up into an open network of palm trees.  The feeling is that the building is just not there.  You are magically transported to your apartment with the high speed elevators.



The is a view to the front of the lobby.  The canope is stainless steel and is an extension to the wooden trusses in the lobby.


Close by there is the KASBAH which is featured in the panoramic photo next.


The lobby floor is a series of circles, a fishing boat bottom and eagle claws that lead to the elevators.  There is a small resting area with a water screen video projections system.

At night the skylights dim and the star come out.

A lot of effort went into this project.
