360 Mall Kuwait

A significant indoor summer garden, native xeriscape rock gardens and water features rejuvenated this luxury mall to offer a fresh and vibrant year round retail experience in a harsh climate whilst offering a seamless transition to the adjacent Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy and Grand Hyatt Hotel.

By offering comfortable connections between adjacent major sporting, event and cultural facilities and adding dynamic landscape attractors and f&b terraces, new brand anchors and world class retail has opened in this verdantly renovated mall.

Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy

This is the second branch of Rafa Nadal’s world-class tennis academy and first of its kind in the Middle East.

With integrated sports facilities including 15 tennis courts, boxing rings and swimming pools the complex supports both fitness fanatics and elite athletes. The geometric patterns of the landscape integrate the centre seamlessly with the adjacent Mall and Grand Hyatt. Part of the unique 360 mixed-use sports, retail, office and leisure destination, 15 million visitors are expected annually.

Grand Hyatt Kuwait

This award-winning Hotel blends with the neighbouring 360 Mall; a fluid and walkable landscape with a bespoke design language effortlessly links the two, and healthy living is further encouraged as the Grand Hyatt also adjoins the Sheikh Jaber Abdullah Al Jaber Al Sabah International Tennis Complex with the world’s second Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy.

Including an exclusive spa garden, a rigorous shade strategy for the whole development formed the basis of a landscape with thermal comfort as a principal goal, encouraging day round activity and fostering a sense of community.
