Cactus design for new ministry building office in Qatar

Qatar is a growing state of the GCC clan. To prove it the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture has employed Bangkok-based Aesthetics Architects Go Group to design their new office building in its capital, Doha. The building design, called the cactus project owing to the resemblance of the plant, draws its inspiration from the ability of cacti thriving in a desert. The building will feature sunshade panels that open and close according to the sun’s intensity, as well as a botanic dome adding to its green rating.

Great looking building, great concept… and very extravagant.
