Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)
No.0026 - Emirates Post (Hamdan Post Office), Khalifa Street
Standing among giants, this little building holds its own alongside its more contemporary neighbors - Le Royal Meridien Hotel and the ADNOC Distribution Headquarters. Its simple use of materials and elegantly proportioned form and structure contrasts nicely against the multi-storey glass and concrete towers that neighbour it.
Designer and date of construction unknown.
