“DOHA COLLEGE, QATAR
…instrumental in helping our team of architects to develop a competition winning design concept that responded to the school’s high sustainability brief, the site’s context and the challenging climate of Qatar. The winning design was selected from stiff international competition because of its strategy for delivering a school for all ages ‘under one roof’. The client, students and our team are proud of what we achieved, and it has been particularly rewarding to discuss the developing designs with students who continue to challenge us on its sustainability credentials.
