Client Brief

The General Civil Aviation Authority in the United Arab Emirates was established in 1996 to regulate Civil Aviation and provide designated aviation services with emphasis on safety and security and to strengthen the aviation industry within the UAE and its upper airspace. A Collaborative approach was employed during the design phase of the project. In coordination with the consultant on board, we built and created an agile workspace showcasing the GCAA’s vision of a unified interior and design environment where the end users can adopt an engaging working environment to meet their workspace needs.

The Scope

AHI Design was tasked with designing an open-plan and agile workspace that would refurbish the office environment across two floors. Allowing the business to make better use of the available space and improve collaboration, the new office would support the company’s vision for growth.

GCAA Project comprised of a complete refurbishment of Ground Floor Lobby and First Floor offices. Ground Floor lobby was completely modified introducing a modern design language and vibrant theme. Provision of wooden paneling was done to provide a rich ambience to the visitors and end users. The existing circular staircase was visually enhanced complimenting the new design. New office spaces were introduced on the first floor accommodating the new GCAA organisational structure. Complete provision of Architectural, ELV and MEP Services was made by AHI Design and a complete turnkey solution was provided.
