La puerta de entrada al emirato de Ras Al Khaimah

A continuación se presentan algunas imagenes del hotel y del complejo de exibiciones y conferencias realizado por los arquitectos noruegos Snøhetta, en el emirato de Ras Al-Khaimah, en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos.

Snøhetta ha sido encargado por la autoridad de inversiones de Ras Al Khaimah y RAKEEN para llevar a cabo el diseño arquitectónico para el proyecto Gateway en el emirato de Ras Al Khaimah. Situado en el desierto a 150 km al este de Dubai, este histórico proyecto marcará la puerta de entrada al emirato y formará la entrada de la nueva capital planificada de Ras Al Khaimah.

Snøhetta has been commissioned by the Ras Al Khaimah investment Authority and RAKEEN to undertake the architectural design for the Gateway project in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Situated in the desert 150 km to the east of Dubai this landmark project will mark the gateway to the emirate and form the entrance to the new planned capital city of Ras Al Khaimah.


El plan maestro de mejoras urbanas para la ciudad, está siendo tomado por los holandeses, basada en la práctica arquitectónica OMA. El proyecto Gateway, está situado y será un hito para la entrada de la ciudad.

The urban master plan for the city is currently being under taken by the Netherlands based architectural practice OMA. The Gateway project is situated at the entrance to the city and will form a landmark for the city entrance.


La expresión arquitectónica la propuesta, se inspira en el desierto y el paisaje de montaña que lo rodea. Este concepto prevé una variedad infinita de sombreados naturales, espacios íntimos y protegidos, en torno a la cual, los múltiples usos relacionados con el desarrollo son tejidos. El paisaje arquitectónico ondulado es resuelto con una dramática torre hito, marcado la plaza principal de entrada. Esta torre de 200 m de altura, será el escenario para un hotel de más de 5 estrellas, que a su vez ofrecerá vistas panorámicas a través del emirato, hacia el golfo y más allá de las montañas.

The architectural expression for our proposal is inspired by the surrounding desert and mountain landscape. This concept provides for an infinite variety of naturally shaded, intimate and protected spaces, around which the multiple uses associated with the development are woven. The undulating architectural landscape is resolved in a dramatic landmark tower marking the main gateway plaza. This 200 m high tower will be the setting for a 5 star plus hotel affording panoramic views across the emirate, to the gulf and mountains beyond.



El programa exige un desarrollo de usos mixtos que comprende un centro de conferencias, un centro de exposiciones, hoteles y espacios para ventas al por menor. En total , se espera que sean 270. 000m2 de área de construcción. Además, habrá importantes zonas para jardín y paisajes. El exterior del edificio, será revestido con paneles de cerámica, este será desarrollado junto con Cerámicas de Ras Al Khaimah , uno de los principales productores mundiales de productos cerámicos.

The programme calls for a mixed-use development comprising a conference centre, exhibition centre, hotels and retail space. In total it is expected to be 270 000m2 of build area. In addition there will be substantial areas of associated garden and landscape. Externally the building will be clad in ceramic panels, this will be developed together with Ras Al Khaimah ceramics, one of the world leading producers of ceramic products.
