Office for Attorney General
Administrative offices
A conference hall with capacity of 200 persons
A reception hall for VIPs
Waiting areas
Three employee elevators

The conceptual design of the castle-themed building associated Omani architectural heritage, with modern design elements and functionality.

ECG is well-known for its dedication to environmental sustainability which was adopted by our client through incorporating the latest infrared technology applications. This technology aims to analyze electricity and water consumption, consequently reducing its carbon footprint and contributing to the environment.

The environmental elements, topography of the site and existing natural slopes, provided us with beneficial factors to utilize; through creating an additional floor and decreasing excavation and backfilling works, resulting in reducing construction duration and cost.

The building’s courtyard was covered by “skylight” to provide internal illumination, to minimize energy consumption and maintain internal cooling.
