Mimar Group vice-chair and UAE managing director Mohammed Al Shurafa said: “Together, we translated their [First Security’s] vision into a design that prioritises balanced proportions for a clear, visually pleasing, and comfortable space.
“Utilising simple geometric forms, the architecture evokes a sense of strength, honesty, and professionalism.”
