Wafra Beacon is a competition-winning proposal for a F&B development for the Sabah Al Ahmed Sea City. The project scope includes two rectangular plots facing a public square anchored by a mosque. Each plot contains a sectional podium housing independent multi-level restaurants and a multi-use tower. The architectural language follows a strict philosophy aimed to optimise its environmental response to the extreme weather conditions prevalent in Kuwait. Passive strategies like green walls, optimized shading through sculpted massing, etc were deployed extensively, generating a new micro-climate. The tower is divided into alternating levels that are partially and fully enclosed. The partially enclosed levels are screened by a mono-chromatic 'Mashrabiya' inspired skin composed of graded ceramic rods.
