SunFrame’s Key Contributions & Project Execution

1. Design Concept & Innovation

Here are the specific design concept and the innovation that we SunFrame have made for this project full of regional characteristics.

 Cultural Integration: 

  • Inspired by the theme of a “Desert Oasis,” the façade design utilizes varying perforation rates in aluminum panels combined with integrated lighting effects to create a dynamic visual experience, resembling “sand particles drifting from the sky.”

 Collaborative Design Process:

  • Worked closely with the DSG/MZP architectural team to ensure seamless combination of aesthetics and functionality.
  • Leveraged parametric design tools to optimize perforation patterns, balancing shading efficiency with artistic expression.

2. Full-Cycle Technical Implementation

Let’s see how we carried out our task in this project? 

 Design Phase:

At first, we applied 3D modeling to simulate light and shadow effects, verifying the impact of perforation rates on both shading and illumination.

 Production & Installation:

  • Then, at the of the facade products manufacturing part,  we precisely manufactured perforated aluminum panels to ensure accurate realization of intricate patterns.
  • The final step is to coordinate on-site installation teams to efficiently manage construction processes, ensuring seamless integration with the building structure.

3. Project Outcomes & Client Feedback

Through our extreme responsibility and strong professionalism, we achieved the following achievements in this project and received praise from our clients.

 Key Achievements:

✔ We did well in this project by offering a 5,500+ sqm custom perforated aluminum panel façade which has fully realized the “Desert Oasis” design vision.
✔ We used our outstanding professional skills to enhance the building’s night image through dynamic light and shadow effects, making it a regional commercial landmark.

 Client Testimonial:

“The SFFE team demonstrated exceptional expertise throughout the entire process, from design to execution. Their innovative approach transformed an abstract cultural concept into an impressive architectural expression.”
— GHANIM SULTAN H. KUWARI, Project Representative

4. Industry Impact

What kind of industry value does the innovation in the curtain wall in this project have?

 Technical Significance:

  • Top of all, this project has validated the functional and artistic potential of perforated aluminum façades in the Middle Eastern climate, balancing solar shading and weather resistance.
  • On the other hand, this Project has showcased SunFrame’s core competitive edge in integrated design-manufacturing-installation services for complex façade projects.

 Cultural Value:

  • This kind of facade has reinterpreted regional cultural motifs through modern engineering, giving commercial architecture a distinctive narrative.

Conclusion

The G+1 CENTRO MALL project exemplifies SunFrame’s ability to transform client visions into high-quality engineering outcomes through technological innovation and cultural insight. Besides, this project not only reinforces SunFrame’s expertise in the Middle Eastern façade industry but also establishes a replicable technical model for future similar developments.
