sheraton Doha (Qatar) architecture


The Doha Sheraton designed by 
a Japanese company and is 
constructed of steel frame. It has 16
storeys arranged in a pyramid shape. 



The side walls to the outside are totally
 made of glass panels. 
The hotel has 456 guest rooms and 
several meeting halls. 
It has a hollow pyramid shape with its fresh air intake at 
the bottom on the side of the prevaihng wind. 
The air exhausts from the top which makes the air conditioning load
very high. 
In summer, the hotel consumes 3750 tons of air conditioning.
In recent years, there has been an increased influence 
of the traditional architecture
