West Bay Lagoon Plaza

Location: Doha, Qatar

Overview

The West Bay Lagoon Plaza twin towers, also commonly known as the Zig-Zag towers or the "dancing towers" due to their wave-like character, are the highest and largest residential zig-zag twin towers in the world. Unique in design and location, the outstanding twin towers complex proposes two identical towers with zig-zag leaning elevations contrasting with the familiar vertical towers. This structure is obtained through a rethinking of the rules, manipulating basic forms in an unconventional way to model buildings that are functional, yet visually striking. Each of the two towers has been articulated by a state of the art architectural vision, granting it the distinctive shape and incomparable view.
