Visitors experienced an energising journey at the ENOC pavilion, which was completed eight months ahead of Expo 2020 Dubai’s opening. The site included seven individual structures covering a 2050m2 plot area. The pavilion offered a first-of-its-kind journey where visitors could feel energy though the use of ultrasound, audio-visual narratives, sensory experiences, kinetic installations and interactive projections. A key element of the brief was sustainability, which was incorporated into the design.
Constructed from 650 tonnes of steel and engineered with potential legacy use in mind, the structures could be moved entirely or deconstructed and reconstructed elsewhere. Our building services design was developed based on standardisation and a modular approach facilitating procurement, installation and commissioning efficiencies. Parametric modelling integrated with BIM was utilised throughout the project to optimise the design and minimise waste.
Richard Stratton, Managing Partner, commented, "It was wonderful to work with a progressive organisation in ENOC - embracing the changing world of energy. I believe that the ENOC Pavilion expressed this in both experience and design. It was completely reusable in every way."

The two-stage procurement strategy saved significant time and promoted a transparent open book cost management approach.
