Basaltina® makes every project unique and the new Hamad International Airport is one of the best examples. Our stone is used for the cladding of the vertical supporting structure and the base of the giant teddy bear that all the world can admire when arriving in the main hall of the airport. This project embodies the capacity of Basaltina® to enhance all kind of architectural creations: even structural elements can become design objects when cladded with the unique texture of Basaltina® stone.

Rigidized® Metals’ InvariMatte® micro textured stainless steel clads the roof of the Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. This is the largest stainless steel roof in the world at 6.5 million square feet. The micro texture reduces glare, and provides both thermal and solar reflectance, which saves energy. Additionally, the micro texture provides easy clean-ability and durability, requiring little to no maintenance for the entire life of the building.
