Som正在为阿卜杜拉国王金融区设计这座新的8.9万平方米的商业办公大楼，其外观受到传统的“muqarnas”跳跃技术的启发，这种技术在提供沙特阿拉伯气候所需的遮阳效果的同时，产生了多个角落办公室。独特的地板形状和立面几何图形导致了一个办公室规划，每层多达11个角落的办公室，创造了一个在整个中东地区都被普遍青睐的独家办公环境。

SOM is designing this new 89,000 square meter commercial office building for the King Abdullah Financial District with a façade inspired by the traditional “muqarnas” vaulting technique that results in multiple corner offices while providing the shading needed in the Saudi Arabian climate. The unique floor plate shape and façade geometry results in an office plan with up to eleven corner offices per floor, producing an exclusive office environment generally preferred throughout the Middle East.

智能遮阳

Smart Shading

塔的聚集和表皮概念是由太阳能性能驱动的。该塔的线性计划是面向东西轴，以尽量减少问题暴露在低角度太阳。电梯和其他核心元件沿南侧的剪力墙布置，以尽量减少南方的太阳曝光率。金属面板类型的不同完成创造了一个闪闪发光的马赛克，改变外观，因为太阳在天空中移动。相反，北侧是透明和开放的，以利用更好的太阳方向和更好的看法。北面不同深度的水平鳍是根据落日的实际数量来校准的。因此，表面需要更多的阴影有更大的鳍深度，减少眩光和冷却负荷。利用日光调光和占位感应器来减少照明负荷。该项目旨在实现LEED认证可持续性目标。

The massing and skin concepts for the tower are driven by solar performance. The linear plan of the tower is oriented on the east-west axis to minimize the problematic exposure to low-angle sun. Elevators and other core elements are arranged along a shear wall on the south side to minimize southern solar exposure. The composition of metal panel types of varying finishes creates a shimmering mosaic that changes appearance as the sun moves through the sky. By contrast, the north side is transparent and open to take advantage of better solar orientation and preferred views. Horizontal fins of varying depths on the north façade are calibrated based on the actual quantity of sun falling on this surface. As a result, the faces which require more shading have greater fin depths, reducing glare and cooling loads. Daylight dimming and occupancy sensors are utilized to reduce lighting loads. The project has been designed to meet LEED certification sustainability targets.

南广场的零售展馆的窗口开口是根据太阳曝晒而调整的-较小的开口出现在太阳强度最大的地方，最大的出现在强度最小的地方，能见度更高的地方更好。广场的种植和铺路模式利用明暗两种颜色的对比图形来减少眩光，同时将广场表面的热量降到最低。“点缀”效果模拟阴影，并从广场的枣棕榈阵列增强真正的阴影。

The retail pavilions in the south plaza have window openings that are sized in response to solar exposure – the smaller openings occur where solar intensity is greatest and the largest occur where the intensity is least and greater visibility is preferred. The plaza planting and paving patterning utilize a contrasting graphic pattern of light and dark colors to reduce glare while minimizing heat gain at the surface of the plaza. The “dappled” effect simulates shading and augments the true shading from the array of date palms in the plaza.

办公室和设施

Offices and Amenities

独特的地板形状和立面几何学的结果，组织七层的迷你中庭战略性编织整个建筑，最大限度地向外部的看法，并引入更多的机会与私人意见通过中庭到大利雅得以外的办公室。特别是沙特的写字楼市场(尤其是中东地区)更喜欢独占的办公环境，封闭式办公场所优先于开放式工作站。纤细的Muqarnas塔地板按区域提供了更多的周边办公室，并为每一层戏剧性的、棱角的“面”提供了高级行政办公室的机会。北立面俯瞰干涸，这是一条连接整个开发项目的景观绿道，为Muqarnas大厦的租户提供了一个花园设施。一个逐渐缩小的七层高入口大厅与暴露的结构剪力墙连接干涸的南部广场和下车，创造了一个城市门户和步行街。

The unique floor plate shape and façade geometry result in the organization of seven-storey mini-atria strategically woven throughout building, maximizing views to exterior and introducing further opportunities for offices with private views through atria to greater Riyadh beyond. The Saudi office market in particular (and the Middle East in general) prefers an exclusive office environment, with enclosed offices preferred over open workstations. The slender Muqarnas Tower floor plates provide a greater number of perimeter offices by area and the opportunity for premium executive offices in each of the dramatic, angular “facets” per floor. The north façade looks onto the Wadi, which is a landscape greenway connecting the entire development, providing a garden amenity to the tenants of the Muqarnas Tower. A tapering seven-story high entrance lobby with exposed structural shear walls connects the Wadi to the south plaza and drop-off, creating an urban gateway and pedestrian thoroughfare.
