Al Hamra Tower
About the Project
About the Project
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Al Hamra Tower is one of Kuwait City's most distinctive architectural landmarks. Completed in 2011, the 412-metre skyscraper is recognised for its sculptural form, twisting geometry and contrasting limestone and glass façades.
The tower's asymmetrical design responds to the surrounding climate, maximising views of the Arabian Gulf while reducing solar heat gain. Its curved profile and monumental stone surfaces create a distinctive relationship between architectural expression, structural engineering and environmental performance.
My architectural photography explores the tower's sculptural geometry, vertical proportions and presence within the Kuwait City skyline. Through carefully selected perspectives and changing natural light, the photographic series highlights the relationship between form, materiality and the surrounding urban environment.
