Technical details

Brief insights
about the project

NFPA Compliance

ACP cladding was applied using weather sealant tested to NFPA 285 standards. The system used an aluminium backing channel in place of the conventional backer rod, enhancing fire safety & durability.

Stone Canopy

The drop-off ceiling and ground floor canopy were designed with ACP cladding finished to replicate natural stone, offering a durable yet lightweight solution with a premium aesthetic.

Sublimation Finish

External aluminium sheet cladding was treated with a sublimation coating by Al Abbar’s own division, delivering a rustic, patinated appearance that blends heritage and modernity.

Aerofoil Shading

A 600mm wide aerofoil louver system made of cold-bent aluminium sheets and extrusions was installed above the MEP area, providing shading, ventilation, and architectural depth.

Frit & Fins

The unitized curtain wall featured a custom frit pattern with 2-meter-wide V-shaped aluminium fins and integrated lighting, offering both performance and striking visual impact.

Fire Safety Systems

Fire-rated doors, partitions, and hinged windows were installed using DCD-approved systems. All components, sourced from FORSTER and SG VETROTECH, were fabricated and fitted in-house.
