Situated between the new city centre and the north side of Doha Bay the 231-meter tower was designed during a time when mayor cultural development plans for Doha were launched by Sheikh Saud al-Thani. The circular building with structure pushed to the periphery measuring a 45m in diameter is topped by a dome; the design comparative to Nouvels Tours sans fins (Paris 1989 – unbuilt) and the Agbar Tower (Barcelona, 2000-2005). The façade pattern, inspired by the mashrabiyya and formed by butterfly aluminium elements are set on the façade according to the specific orientation of each part of the building – 25% toward north, 40% toward south, 60% on east and west.
