As sun rays beam down through the Qanawat Headquarters, they power and illuminate the creativity of a new generation filled with entrepreneurial spirit, forging forward for the benefit of humankind in the wake of the global pandemic. Fueled thorugh solar energy, the Qanawat office building is designed with environmental sustainability and innovation at its core. With natural light reaching into both office areas and the interior gardens, the movement and interactions of personnel increase and the offices gain a sense of openness. The architecture of the Qanawat Headquarters call for an invitation to interact with people and the space, safely distanced but connected.
Looking to a post-Covid 19 world, the building is structured to ignite the feeling that personal safety is a paramount factor in any architectural
design. Designed with side corridors and hallways, with expanded lengths of desks to two meters, and the feeling of open natural areas between many other features, these offices are designed to incorporate Covid-19 as the unfortunate but truthful mundane. They show how the current pandemic is not only a health crisis, but one intrinsically connected into people’s lives and in turn their spaces.
Located in Dubai Studio City, the building rises up four floors, with the top two given over for the running of Qanawat. The remaining areas
offer secured working environments for employees, starts-ups, and established companies seeking inspiration through interaction with other
like-minded professionals. The green areas, courtyards, and all Covid-19 measures are there to ensure an updated and safe working environment
for all who work inside the building.
