近日，OMA与科威特建筑咨询公司Pace合作设计的Wafra大厦最新效果图公布。这座住宅位于科威特Hessa Al Mubarak区的滨海地带。该方案从Wafra地产公司举办的竞赛中的三个方案中脱颖而出。项目预计于2020年底动工，建成后将成为OMA在科威特的首座建筑。

OMA / Iyad Alsaka and Reinier de Graaf, in collaboration with Kuwait-based consultant Pace as a local partner, have revealed their design for the Wafra tower, a residential tower in the Hessa Al Mubarak District along the Kuwait City waterfront. OMA’s proposal was selected from among three competitors in a competition organized by the Wafra Real Estate Company. Construction is expected to start at the end of 2020. Upon completion the Wafra Tower will be OMA’s first built project in Kuwait.

该方案由5个住宅体量以阶梯式序列堆叠而成，自下而上从L形体量逐渐过渡到平整的板状体量。各体量由一个暴露的核心筒相连接。这种结构提高了建筑下层的利用率，沿纵向轴线优化了建筑的景观视野，使住户们既可观海也可眺望城市。

OMA’s design consists of five residential blocks forming a stepped sequence, which modulates from a L-shaped volume to slab. This structure maximizes occupancy on the lower floors and optimizes views along the vertical axis of the building. The apartment blocks offer views on both the seafront and the city and are connected by an exposed, monolithic core.

建筑中设置了多种形式的公寓，包含带有1至3个卧室的套间以及大型阁楼公寓。由于建筑独特的几何形态，所有公寓都有眺望海湾的、无框架遮挡的景观视野。建筑角部的公寓拥有多个方向的视野。

The tower holds a wide array of apartment typologies including 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and vast penthouses. Because of the unique geometry of the tower, all apartments have sweeping frameless views across the gulf. Corner apartments have multiple orientations.

体量标志性的阶梯式排布产生了退台，可容纳游泳池、召开“迪瓦尼亚”（Diwaniyas，一种科威特社交活动）。立面上覆有矩形网格，使建筑体量的偏斜在对比之下更加明显。地面层的大堂容纳有休息区以及可以看到海景的联合办公区域。

The emblematic stepped blocks generate lush terraces that provide space for sports amenities, a swimming pool and diwaniyas. The façade is marked by a rational, rectangular grid that enhances the visual effect of the skewed volumes of the tower blocks. On street level, the plinth accommodates a raised lobby with lounge areas and co-working spaces with seaside views.

Hessa Al Mubarak区域规划只是科威特建设浪潮中的一部分，现有价值4600亿美元的建筑工程正在进行中。

The development of the masterplan for the Hessa Al Mubarak District is part of a current construction boom in Kuwait, with projects worth over 460 billion USD currently active in the construction sector.
