What sets this area apart

Hateen comprises residential villas and mid-rise apartment blocks, most built on deep plots with concrete foundations carrying three to four storeys. When designing a rooftop annex, we analyse the original foundation drawings and calculate how new walls and columns redistribute load onto existing columns and bearing walls. The roof is rarely clear of constraints; water tanks, air-conditioning units and high-voltage cables often dictate where the annex can sit.

Hateen lies in Hawalli governorate, a mid-density residential district of villas and apartment blocks built on deep concrete foundations.

Most Hateen foundations have documented load ratings from original drawings, but adding a rooftop annex requires recalculating load distribution across the revised structure.

Questions about Rooftop annex design in Hateen

How do you handle existing foundations when designing the annex?

We request the original structure and foundation drawings and conduct a site survey to measure columns and bearing walls. Then we recalculate load distribution from the new annex walls and columns onto the existing foundations to ensure they are not overstressed.

Are there usually obstacles on the roof in Hateen?

Water tanks, air-conditioning units and electrical conduits are common. We mark their location in the survey and adjust the annex layout to avoid them while preserving usable floor area.
