MotorCity AutoMall
Union Properties
Dubai, UAE
287,000 square meters
A modern kaleidoscope of textures and interwoven planes of materials creates the canvas for the sleek architecture of the AutoMall. A high-rise office building, a hotel, and a series of auto showrooms interconnect to create a unique and exciting complex. The highest standards of technology and sustainability have been incorporated into the design, including maximization of natural light, which allows the building to be labeled "Green and Energy Saving."
The three elements of the complex - the showrooms, offices, and hotel - are part of a unified flowing form that bends, splits, twists, and intersects with itself to create functional spaces. Each auto showroom has its own office and support spaces. Additional amenities include retail locations for designer car related products and cafés.
Overlooking the action on the Dubai Autodrome racetrack, the AutoMall is the perfect place for thrill seekers. Privileged clients can conduct test drives on the FIA F1 approved circuit, and all 24 showrooms have a visual link to the racing venue. The offices command a stunning view of the entire track, especially the one through four turn sequence, and guests of the suites and rooftop restaurant at the hotel can enjoy the entire panorama of the track and gulf beyond.
