Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)
No.0002 - Al Ibrahimi Tower, Electra Street, Abu Dhabi

An instantly recognizable landmark to most Abu Dhabi residents, the Al Ibrahimi Tower, named after the restaurant located on its ground floor, was built in the early 1980’s to designs drawn up by Egyptian architect Farouk El Gohary. The buildings cylindrical floor plates are clad with a facade of interlocking elements, creating an ever changing play of light and shade from all directions.
