SUPERBLOCK

...  a superblock slab building in the middle east that we are working on presently. The scheme is part of a much wider urban masterplan that is currently under construction.

We have secured the project and are working with the contractor through the scheme design stages currently. The building although externally presented as a giant monolith in response to the extreme local climate does however incorporate massive arabic courtyard volumes within the buildings long section.  The building is like a small city with vertical public spaces, mixed activity, skywalk connections, monorail links etc.

... my son said that it looked like the Java Sandcrawler from Star Wars however!
