The design is inspired by the natural forms created when water and land meet. Five interconnected retail islands link the mall into the landscape and back to the water. A body of water running throughout the center of the scheme guides the visitor through the mall, leading to the marina. Internal waterfalls visually connect the different levels. The spaces between the five pebble-shaped islands are carefully landscaped, creating a series of green spaces.

This Doha mall, which totals 72,000 square meters of leasable area, includes three levels, with an additional 3,500 square meter hypermarket at basement level. The complex includes cinemas, restaurants with terraced dining overlooking the marina, and spa facilities. It is located within the Lusail development, a new 37 square kilometer waterfront development. Subdivided into 19 integrated and diverse mixed-use districts, Lusail is intended to create a vibrant, community-oriented lifestyle offering the best in modern urban living.
HOK aims to achieve QSA 5 rating for Marina Mall (LEED Platinum equivalent).
To integrate all engineering services precisely within the structure, BIM was embraced by the Project Team to deliver a 3D solution using REVIT. This provided the client with a powerful design, collaboration and management tool to ensure the optimal design is achieved during the design process through construction drawings and maintained post completion and into occupancy.
