Museum of Islamic Art Terrace
Design: 2015-2016
Construction: 2016
At the top floor of I. M. Pei’s Museum of Islamic Art is Idam, Alain Ducasse’s first restaurant in the Middle East offering an Arabic inspired French haute cuisine. Simple yet understated, the design provides access from the signature national institution to a newly designed terrace space with seating and service counters.

Oversized stainless-steel peak doors, low iron glass and “Hautville” French limestone preserves the geometry and material palate of the original museum design while offering a new experience, with spectacular panoramic views of the ever-growing Doha skyline.
