Project summary
Rosewood is an iconic, mixed-use, luxury development project in the commercial area of the Marina District in Lusail, Doha. It is comprised of two main towers linked at the base by a three-level podium, reaching a built-up area of 152,684 square meters. The organic architectural concept portrays an impression of two coral structures, presenting structural challenges that include designing a cantilever slab system on four corners amid a tight project budget. To ensure the structural integrity while meeting the architectural requirements, Arab Engineering Bureau needed comprehensive, customizable structural design technology.They selected RAM Concept, featuring design capabilities that cover all aspects of the flooring system, to determine that a post-tension steel slab system would reduce construction costs and time. Bentley’s user-friendly platform enabled effortless modeling to determine the optimal steel structural support solution, saving 20% to 30% in resource hours and associated costs.
