​

The Doha Metro is Qatar Rail’s most prominent and visible project. The Gold Line is part of the first phase, to be opened to the public in late 2019. Station design is critical and reflects the heritage of Qatar. The client wanted a technically-focused team with the know-how to apply the complex Architectural Branding Manual requirements to the station public areas.

​

The Gold Line, also referred to as the Historic Line, runs approximately east-west for some 15km.  Ten (10) underground metro stations leading up to multiple at grade entrances were developed by Arcadis:

  1. Ras bu Abboud – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  2. National Museum of Qatar – three (3) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  3. Souq Waqif – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  4. Bin Mahmoud – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  5. Al Sadd – four (4) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  6. Joaan – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  7. Al Sudan – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  8. Al Waab – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  9. Sports City – five (5) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

  10. Al Aziziyah – two (2) stations with surrounding landscape and MEP areas

 

Using the guidelines and principles as outlined in the project Architectural Branding Manual Part 3, I lead a team of three (3) in Doha, and manged an external team of fifteen (15) in Manila to deliver a design for all the noted at grade station entrances and a few other Technical areas around the new underground Metro line. The concept design was based on the noted branding manual, while the schematic and detail design were developed to meet all local regulations where applicable to ensure approval by the local municipality while maintaining the design intent of the branding manual.
