National Bank of Abu Dhabi – ADNEC Capital Centre

The headquarters for the branch of the National Bank of Abu Dhabi reinforces the emblematic image set by the existing NBAD, with the double tower structure in pyramidal cross section with inversely reflected triangular peaks.
Clad in blue reflective glass, the pyramid over the entrance, crowns both, the clear glass lobby and the walkway that is defined by bold black granite columns.
The second pyramid is clad in grey reflective glass, giving a tint of solemnity for the banking centre.
The pair of pyramids, finished with silver aluminium louvers at their tops, are linked by a prism covered with grey glass.
The multi-storey luminous atrium greets clients, leading them to the mezzanine, to three basement parking levels, besides leading them to five levels of offices and other six destined to the Bank.
