Jawwal New Building
First Prize in a Limited Architectural Competition

2003
Client: jawwal
Location: Ramallah, Palestine
Project Status: Design

See news article
Client: Jawwal - Palestine Cellular Communications, Ltd
Bireh, Palestine

The new Jawwal building reflects the high aspirations of a national company found along the aspirations of a new Palestinian State.
The new building is attched to the existing Jawwal building, both integrating into one. A spiral tower at the corner start at the entrance, and drives to the heights. With a clear indication of the high-tech nature of the building, space frame, curved slabs, and full glazed facades travel with a fluid motion across the structure and embrace the building. As such, the new Jawwal building reiterates the message of Jawwal - traveller. It promotes continuity and ambition, and gives Jawwal a newly founded symbol.
