Elegance
This is the most beautiful tower I have ever seen.
I have been in a lot of cities, all around the world, and I have seen several towers but none were like this.
I don't get tired to look at it, from each different angle I get a new perspective that magnetizes me. Even the way the light embraces the tower is something magical. It reminds me of a lady with "dishdasha" covering and rounding her body.
Located in Kuwait City, Al Hamra Tower anchors a commercial complex comprising offices, a health club, and a high-end shopping mall with theatres and a food court.
In a perfect marriage between architecture and engineering, this skyscraper with 100% asymmetrical exterior, is the tallest tower in the world with twisting walls reaching 412 meters.
Al Hamra is the tallest building in Kuwait and the 15th tallest in the world.
