Container construction has been taking the design world by storm, and Ho Yamal! – a respectable eatery in the UAE, Dubai – has hopped on the bandwagon! Since container construction is still in the mythological stages in the UAE, the location of this eatery is incredibly unique. The CAS design team balanced out the schematics by seamlessly combining the indigenous aspects of the Emirates culture with sophisticated elements of green design to make this project a success. To ameliorate the rough climatic conditions, solar panels became an inherent part of the design. A turquoise color scheme embraced the coastal nature of the location, and a parametric wooden structure artfully embraces the organic side of the design. This project turned out of be a creative join up of active and passive design techniques along with stunning aesthetics.
