Award Winning YAS Island Abu Dhabi

Taking inspiration from the triangular YAS Island logo the project architect put forward a conceptual drawing illustrating triangular sails in the three project areas.  Recognizing the opportunity to create an architectural centerpiece as determined in the client design brief our company initiated an alternative project offering.  This style of structure utilized exaggerated highs (10.5mts) and lows (3.0mts) emphasizing the canopy formation which consisted of interleaving sails supported by structural steel work which exactly followed the profile of each individual sail.  This system of design was utilized to minimize material usage and to create the illusion of the high points of the sail seamlessly floating on the horizon with clear span space underneath the structures.
