Etisalat Headqaurters, Abu Dhabi

The Etisalat Headquarters, also known as the Etisalat Telecommunication and Administration Tower, stands as a testament to Abu Dhabi's status as one of the most modern cities globally. This architectural marvel, constructed in the postmodern style, reaches a height of 160 meters and is prominently located on a key corner site along Airport Road. This strategic positioning not only connects the bustling downtown of Abu Dhabi with the international airport but also accentuates the tower's significance in the city's skyline.

Designed with a distinctive cylindrical shape featuring a quarter-circle base, the tower's exterior is beautifully clad in green glass. This design choice not only enhances the building's aesthetic appeal but also serves a functional purpose by housing the open office spaces, thereby creating an environment that is both visually stunning and conducive to productivity. Complementing this, a triangular volume clad in pink granite conceals the services and vertical circulation within the building, showcasing a thoughtful consideration of both form and function.

At street level, a major multi-story hall welcomes clients, serving as a grand reception area that underscores Etisalat's commitment to excellence and customer service. Symbolic of the telecommunications giant, the tower is crowned with a sphere that hosts various antennas, signifying Etisalat's pivotal role in connecting people across the globe.

Adjacent to the main structure, a separate building incorporates car parking facilities, further enhancing the functionality of the headquarters. Atop this structure, a telecommunication museum and a multipurpose hall are situated, offering spaces for education, exhibitions, and events that celebrate the industry's history and future.
