In association with SOM Al-Hamra Tower received the ACI award for Best Sculpted Concrete Tall Building for the year 2011.
Rising to a height of 412 meters, the recently completed Al Hamra Tower is now Kuwait's tallest skyscraper.the mixed-use office and commercial tower is twisted and sculpted with a monolithic stone wall on the south facade. Views are maximized on the east, north and west sides, while solar heat gain is minimized on the south side. The sweeping facade curls in on itself by 130-degrees to become a completely asymmetrical skyscraper.
