The Gate Building
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) headquarters is a gateway to a new financial district in Dubai. The Gate is a global center for leading financial businesses designed to embody the DIFC’s vales of integrity, transparency, and simplicity. Featuring monumental proportions, designed to symbolise the DIFC’s permanence and stability, the building is an iconic element of the master plan, which called for a promenade ending in a triumphal arch modeled after Champs Élysées and Arc de Triomphe. Sitting on an axis with the Emirates Towers and the World Trade Centre, the Gate Building creates a strong urban dialogue with these two Dubai landmarks.
