The design of the Hotel and Apartments, currently on site for the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Group in Doha, takes its point of reference from traditional Qatari architecture, which has been reinterpreted in a contemporary Modernist architectural language. The massing and elevational treatment of the Hotel and Apartment buildings is carefully integrated within the hierarchy, scale and character of the historic street, lanes, squares and courtyards surrounding the site. The buildings and spaces were carefully articulated, in plan, to avoid any sense of heavy massing. The arrangement of the buildings around a plaza to the rear creates a shaded, restful, pedestrian-porous oasis.
