Commercial Bank of Dubai

Dubai is one of the most advanced business metropolises in the world, yet it is still essentially defined by its traditions. Along the Creek, a sea estuary that runs through the city centre, skyscrapers of futuristic appearance provide an amazing contrast with the Oriental harbour and marinescape backdrop. One of the spectacular modern buildings here is the headquarters of the Commercial Bank of Dubai: the curved façade of the fascinating steel and glass combination engenders glittering reflections of the water with constantly changing colours. The design was the creation of architects Norr Group Consultants International.

Prominent Features

Transparency and safety

The Commercial Bank of Dubai presents itself as a quality-aligned, financially strong, customer-aware and socially responsible corporation. This committed philosophy—in keeping with the best of traditions and married with the requirements of contemporary business—is also expressed in the design lines of the bank building. Safety combined with transparency and aesthetic elegance are the major conceptual themes, as also exemplified by a total of over 100 DORMA MANET door systems—high-quality glass and stainless steel units installed at various levels of the complex. The heavy sliding doors in the reception lobby are synchronised by DORMA’s AL 400 automatic door operators.
