The project plot area is 488 sq.m located Manama in close proximity to the traditional souq and many financial institutions. It consists of 10 levels in addition to a partial roof plan allocated for dining facility, all with a total built- up of 5,120 sqm.
The design has addressed various challenges associated usually with the functional rehabilitation of old buildings, the logistical complexities of a busy site location and the complexities of the various engineering systems.
