The building’s design is an architectural concept engineered by Archiroom (Italian architectural design studio) that brings a modern touch to traditional Qatari styles, infusing the spaces with visual references to soccer through the use of particular materials, graphics and lighting.
A futuristic project, the building’s spiral shape has also earned it the nickname of the Tornado Tower. Inaugurated in 2011, it is fitted with Moon door handles by Shigeru Ban.
