O14 or O-14 is an office skyscraper located in Business Bay in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is 105.7 m (347 ft) tall and has 24 floors.[2][4] The building's floor area is 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2).[5] There is a 1-meter space between the facade and the windows which allows hot air to rise and cool air to come in from below.[6] The facade is 40 cm thick and made of an extremely fluid concrete. It has 1300 circular openings of various sizes.[7][8] The building is held up by the core and exoskeleton so the space inside is largely column free.[6] O-14 is the winner of the 2009 Silver, Emporis Skyscraper Award.[9] O-14 also won the 2010 ACEC National Honor Award for Excellence in Engineering Design.[10] O-14 was the recipient of the best tall building in Middle East and Africa in the best tall buildings awards by Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.[11]
