forming the vital oases around which many Omani villages grew at the foot
of these mountains. The long atrium spine is directed towards the
mountains, creating a symbolic relationship between the building and its
setting. The atrium roof heightens the oasis narrative through the tall round
steel columns with their tree-shaped capitals that carry a glass and steel roof
structure which allows natural light and creates exciting shadows all over
the space throughout the day, evoking the foliage of trees and palm fronds.
The Triple Bottom Line approach has been adopted as an important design
consideration in this project. Accordingly this office building is a result of
environmentally aware endeavors and comprehensively iterative process by
the design and construction team, led by the Architect, to satisfy Client’s
special   requirements (Economy/Profit), achieving performance targets and
occupants expectations (Human Health/People) while minimizing
environmental impacts associated with built environment (Ecology/Planet).
Master Planning supports sustainable design through project’s corner
location aimed at reducing development footprint, allowing more parking
spaces and direct accessibility for vehicles, maximizing opportunities for
creating quality views for building occupants and minimizing environment
disturbance of construction and its associated operations. Building massing
takes advantage of   environmental and site factors, while facades design and
fenestration, and careful window’ to. wall ratio respond to building
orientation to provide day lighting and views aimed at increasing workers
productivity while decreasing electrical loads. The sky-lit atrium space
allows movement around and   through it vertically and horizontally, with
inner terraces forming places of rest, finished with high reflectance interior
surfaces, within a naturally-lit volume offering extended views of the atrium
space, the inner workplaces as well as the distant mountains views.
Landscape design employs aspects of xeriscaping, reducing irrigation
requirements while utilizing recycled water for irrigation,
