The narrative of the new Miral headquarters in Abu Dhabi is undeniably employee-centric. It explores a progressive work environment beyond the norm. Unconventional spaces that support new-age work systems interspersed with elements of fun form the crux of this design. It is essentially a space where work and fun converge and boundaries are erased. This is the office space of today - focused on creating an inspiring and efficient environment where employees enjoy the space they are in which in turn leads to greater productivity.
A first for the region, the indoor slide, which runs from the first floor to the ground floor, adds a sense of playfulness to the workplace. Another dominant design feature is the open red staircase. This industrial looking staircase sits on a raised concrete plinth which also serves as informal seating and acts as a social connection between the two levels. The rawness of the red oxide metal and the concrete is balanced by the vibrant colours of the soft seating.
The golf clubhouse was designed to reflect a modern interpretation of a traditional dhow in full sail capturing the essence of Dubai's seafaring traditions and the majesty and simplicity of the lateen-rigged dhows as they sailed up and down the coastline of Dubai.
