The project
Food Hall 1 boasts a mix of ‘food hall’ dining as well as high end dining. It hosts many one-of-a-kind, attracting features such as ‘chefs table’ seating areas and private areas for a VIP dining experience, as well as a large terrace looking on to the renowned Al Wasl Dome. With a contemporary, clean feel created through soft wooden finishes and lots of greenery using many planters and trees within the venue; it is certainly no ordinary food hall encounter.

Solutions delivered
Instead of utilizing the usual technical design stage, the engineering shop drawing period was used to complete the information to a standard which could be procured and installed in advance of the expected programme periods allowing us to maximize productivity on the already challenging programme deadlines.
