                                                       Thus a building with 90% office floor area would be said to be an
                                                       "office" building, irrespective of other minor functions it may also
                                                       contain.
                                                       Princess Tower design was incepted by Eng. Adnan Saffarini Office to
                                                       be one of the most elegant and outstanding high rise towers in
                                                       Dubai, the challenge was to present an Architectural Design that
                                                       would be one of its kinds to house the763 residential apartments with
                                                       all facilities that makes living in that one tower city, a luxurious, safe,

                                                        safe, and self contained living environment. One of the main
                                                       challenges is the structural system where design has to take into
                                                       account the seismic (earthquake) and wind effects which require
                                                       the lowest possible aspect ratio and a massive design to give
                                                       enough rigidity to resist possible earthquake and wind loads.

Eng. Adnan Saffarini Office was also the consultant assigned to supervise the construction of the Tower,
putting a new challenge in developing the project aspect in all fields of Architectural, Structural,
