The Central Atrium of the Arab Organizations Headquarters Building


The Central Atrium of the Arab Organizations Headquarters Building functions much as the traditional hoash or central courtyard of classic Arab house design. It serves as a common ground for the building's occupants and visitors and a comfortable area for socialization and interaction. Imagine the feeling of lightness created by nine stories of pure air in the core of the building. The sky seems to stretch endlessly upward, unhindered by the large glass skylight in the ceiling and the enormous suspended glass wall on the north east. Lush vegetation and central trees (each over 40 years old) provide additional shade. The Syrian fountain adds soothing water music. The marble floor repeats the geometric star patterns of the skylight and fountain.
