Office design by Sheppard Robson in Masdar City

 Located in Masdar city, Abu Dhabi, , United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates is an exemplary new benchmark for the office buildings in the Middle East with optimized technology for the most sustainable structure possible.

Spread over a surface of 22800 square meters with a new public plaza below, the plaza it is one of the first in the region to be awarded the LEED Platinum standard for sustainability due to its combination of parametric analysis with traditional construction techniques provided a more compact shape with less material needed. The plaza ensures pedestrian movement through the interior to connect the public spaces with several external rooms and retail units as well as two completely glazed office areas acting as reception spaces. The interior structure is insulated to reduce the thermal conductivity with an aluminum shading system to minimize the solar gain while permitting sufficient natural light to pass inside.
