Manateq HQ

Ras Bufontas, Doha, Qatar

The Manateq Headquarter is located in Ras Bufontas, Doha, Qatar. It is positioned along the east-west axis, edging the planned urban piazza and fronting the sea. What starts off as a monolith undergoes a series of articulate folds, cuts, and pleats to fulfill its functions.

It’s shape is simple but quite intriguing and perceived as a tilting volume slowly rising up from the ground, wrapping around its core, and culminating with a platform that offers gorgeous views of the urban fabric unfolding around it with the sea ahead.

It is very open at entrance level, with generous overhangs around it to shade both the pedestrians and the spaces inside.

The main entrance lobby spans the entire width and height offering visual connection to the upper stories and to landscaped internal courtyards. What is created, by means of these courtyards, is a strong sense of place and a clear orientation. Their distinct volumes and natural light control draw on Islamic architecture principles of space, proportions and light.

Individual offices and meeting rooms are all naturally lit. Office spaces are complemented with generous communal areas and gathering spaces strategically positioned along the vertical connectors and in-between the departmental clusters.

As for the exterior, the project has a two-fold skin system. A first, inner layer of double concrete walls and low-E glazing ensures optimal visual, lighting, thermal, and acoustic comfort levels throughout its interior. A second, adaptive outer system of perforated vertical louvers spaced from the inner walls by means of access catwalks, wraps around the entire project protecting it from excess light rays and glare.
