The Design
About The Ark Business District Commercial Complex
Gilangkuban sa 11 ka mga bilding sa kinatibuk-an, ang mauswagon nga distrito sa negosyo naghiusa sa moderno nga pagpaandar sa usa ka streamlined nga pilosopiya sa disenyo nga nag-isip sa gawas nga bahin sa imong adlaw sa trabaho pinaagi sa pagpaila sa bukas sa mga sawang sa langit ug dili regular nga bukas nga mga wanang sulod sa mga bilding. Usa ka parking area nga mikaylap sa duha ka lebel kauban ang mga lugar nga ihulog sa awto nga magamit sa matag bilding, pagsiguro sa usa ka hapsay nga pagbiyahe alang sa tanan nga mga bisita. Ang komersyal ug tingi nga lugar sa lebel sa yuta nanghambog sa usa ka dinamikong kasinatian sa pagpangaon ug pagpamalit, nga adunay mga bantog nga mga tatak ug mga global nga pagkaon nga naghiusa sa usa ka buhi ug puliki nga wanang.

a dynamic dining and shopping experience, with
renowned brands and global cuisines coming together
in one lively and bustling space. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- Efficiency is everything. Smart technologies are at the
core of what we do. Using a Building Management
System (BMS), The Ark Business District will utilize the
latest in property technology applications allowing
the project to leverage various efficiencies; moreover,
facilities will be automated with minimal need for
human manpower. Our buildings will operate with
systems that communicate to deliver data, thereby
enabling efficient usage of resources, adjusting cost
in real time, and improving the quality of life of the
tenants. All BMS systems are interconnected with
the possibility of modification upon request via a
community application. - Design Challenge
- The main challenge while designing this project was the level difference within the site and how to make use of that 8m difference creating an interesting integrated outdoor space.
The other challenge was to come up with innovative office configuration to make it appealing for the client i.e. creating private offices that are designed as semi-standalone
spaces, in which tenants can enjoy their
own private entrance, cores, reception and
services. We also have shared creative workspaces offering the
office occupants a change of scenery when holding meetings, creative brainstorming sessions, or project development sessions. - Inspiration
- The concept of dynamic and movement of buildings represent the evolution, motion, progress and continuous development of human beings physically and spiritually.
Reflecting on the user, breaking monotony and boredom, spreading the spirit of vitality and excitement.
The buildings turn from the state of stability to an active project where interactions between inside/out happen simultaneously - which is confirmed by introducing outdoor business terraces, open to sky courtyards for penthouse offices, irregular open spaces. - Project Duration
- The project is under construction.
Located in the heart of New Cairo, approximately 35 km East of Cairo downtown in an area of already livable new development. The site is 5 minutes drive from Ring road through road Ninety.
The site is also indirectly accessible through Cairo-Sokhna road, Intermediate ring road, which ties the location with Greater Cairo districts. - Operation Flow
- The business district is treated as livable experiences and not just as administrative buildings.
High-end retail brands and world-class global cuisines
meet in this thriving commercial space, pulsating with a
vibrant energy. The commercial area enjoys a spacious
boulevard that cuts through the retail strip, while abundant
green spaces and delightful water features add to The Ark
Business District's recreational experience. The space is
designed to promote ease of movement, relaxed circulation,
and a sociable communal feel.
Retail tenants are provided with back of house areas, for all
units, which include storage and loading docks. These areas
are conveniently located adjacent to each unit. - Team Members
