The International Bank of Qatar, known as IBQ, has decided to locate its new Headquarters Building in the New District of Doha. The building is planned to achieve iconic status as a landmark image distinguishing IBQs continuing success as a symbol of trustworthiness and financial leadership in this area.

The IBQ tower employs a ‘two-mass’ strategy articulated with a triangulated folding geometry that exemplifies the potential for slender elegance in glass and metal. The faceted triangulation of the articulated surfaces reflects the client-inspired crystalline form soaring to approximately 190 meters at its apex.

In addition to the aesthetic and functional aspects of the IBQ tower, considerable thought has been devoted to the operating and construction costs. Consideration in efficiencies relevant to energy conservation through the reduction of solar gain is evident through the use of fritted glazing and implementation of several sky gardens.

Extensive use of interior glazing of flexible wall systems throughout the general office areas allow for visually spacious and flexible interiors. The clean, international styling of the interiors further conveys the importance, stability and financial success of IBQ to visiting dignitaries and clientele.
