Dubai World Trade Centre District designed by Hopkins Architects
Hopkins Architects have been appointed for the
first Phase of the Dubai World Trade Centre
District, which is at the heart of the new business
district in the city. This is arguably the most
important area of real estate in the Gulf and the
Middle East.
The design will feature a balance of public and
private spaces creating a unique mixed-use
urban quarter of offices, apartments, hotels and
retail use. The design includes a series
of internal and external public spaces with treelined
streets, light filled atria and rooftop gardens;
places for people to live, work and enjoy life.
The project will provide a unique human-scaled
urban environment with over 1 million square
metres (10 million sq ft) of developable area.
The office buildings will be designed to the best
environmental standards to achieve “LEED
Platinum” status.
