The O14 ... green building.
HH hands over $82m O14
01 February 2010
HH, a Dubai-based boutique property developer, has officially handed over its Dh300 million ($81.67 million) flagship development O14, a 22-storey freehold commercial building at the centre of Business Bay in Dubai.
Designed by renowned architects Reisur and Umemoto (RUR) Architecture P C in New York, O14 will offer 165,000 sq ft of office space and 6,500 sq ft of retail space.
The O14 tower has a perforated concrete façade that acts as the core of the tower. The façade perforations serve as a solar screen, letting in exceptional levels of light, air, and providing views to occupants. The 1 m space between the façade and the building’s glass surface also acts as a chimney effect causing hot air to rise, creating an efficient passive cooling system, therefore reducing energy consumption by at least 30 per cent.
