Al Khobar Water Tower: A beacon of renewal

Inspired by water as a symbol of life and prosperity, Al Khobar Water Tower by ON-A reshapes the waterfront ambiance by establishing a shopping center accompanied by entertainment and dining venues on an existing artificial island

Situated in a prime location overlooking the Persian Gulf, the tower renovation project aspires to create a functional and visually captivating architectural marvel. It aims to seamlessly integrate with the community, employ energy-efficient and sustainable design principles as a regional exemplar, and employ cutting-edge technology to provide an immersive experience celebrating the city’s cultural heritage.

Standing at 90 meters tall, project is a pivotal component in revitalizing the city’s waterfront. Beyond its water provision role, the tower harmoniously blends with its surroundings, fostering a sense of connection and belonging among residents. Our project embodies an efficient and sustainable design, setting a benchmark for future regional development.

The masterplan adopts a radial layout to optimize functionality and aesthetics. The ground floor hosts ample parking facilitating access to commercial and promenade areas featuring shops and restaurants. Above lies a souk or central commercial hub, surrounded by verdant courtyards and water features for relaxation. Open-air theaters and panoramic viewpoints offer opportunities to savor the surroundings. Furthermore, the design seamlessly incorporates the existing desalination plant, with the tower reigning over the complex, boasting a viewing platform at its summit.
