Barwa Tower, 570 metros:

Murphy Jahn Design 570m Tall Tower

Approval has been given for a new tower over half a kilometer tall for Doha, Qatar.

Located in the west bay area the Barwa Tower, named after developers Barwa Real Estate Company will stand at a massive 570 metres and have 108 floors.

A total deviation from a previous more interesting design, many could be mistaken for thinking the design comes from the pens of architects Denton Corker Marshall who designed he Grollo tower in Melbourne.

First appearances make this look almost carbon copy but in reality it has been designed by Chicago architects Murphy/Jahn Inc who were obviously running low on inspiration that particular day. Design revisions could however make the end product a little more distinctive as it evolves throughout the development process.

Its tall slender form which at night will cast an elegant mirror image in the bay is the towers only notable feature aside from its sheer height. With the usual glass façade the tower is almost an elongated pyramid that finishes just before reaching its non existent point.

Despite its rather mundane appearance the tower will have a few redeeming features including the lattice crown, observation stations which will offer spectacular views of the bay and surrounding city and revolving restaurants on the 100 - 108 levels.

As a mixed use tower, it will house luxury apartments, a hotel with an as yet unknown operator, a shopping mall, convention centre and many other amenities often seen in these opulent buildings.

It seems incredible to think that only a few years ago this tower would not only be headline news but in the running for the world's tallest building. It just goes to show that these days when skyscrapers on steroids are literally counted by the dozen, you need more than height to impress.
