Zaha Hadid's sustainable "sand dune" emerges from the desert
Located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, Bee'ah headquarters' dune-like design is both inspired by, and intended to blend in with, the local desert landscape. It will serve a Middle East environmental waste management company and is slated for LEED Platinum (a green building standard) certification.
Recycled building materials are being used and the goal is for no building waste to reach the landfill (one example is that concrete waste is being repurposed for the construction of barriers). The building is being oriented to make use of the prevailing breeze for natural cooling and once complete, it will use energy and water saving fixtures (LED lighting, low-flow taps and toilets, etc).
Bee'ah headquarters will get all of its electricity from the sun. Solar panels will be hooked-up to Tesla's Powerpack battery system, providing a total capacity of 1,890 kWh. In addition, greywater will be re-used and the landscaping will feature native vegetation that requires little irrigation.
