As per the brief the office is designed with the global booking.com theme and introduces site specific design features as well as local UAE Aesthetics. The reception area is designed to be open and welcoming. It has hints of local gulf aesthetics such as the majlis style seating wall and Arabic style pendants above the reception desk. Arabic style graphics are introduced around the office as a wayfinding tool as well as to add a contemporary local flavour such as Graphic camels and Islamic star patterns. The open planned office workstations and the conference rooms are designed with a booking.com style and kept simple to enhance productivity and performance.
