The laboratory is located in the sports area of Doha, an enclave in continuous growth in the city. The building is a unique glass shape roofed by a huge perforated plane extending over the patio and supported by a forest of fine columns, creating a direct visual relationship between the internal activities and the exterior.
The patio with the pool creates a space with domestic features, suited to the extreme climate of this region. A landscaped plaza is created outside to emphasise the building's characteristics and connect it directly to the surroundings.
