Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Center Kuwait – JACC Building
The restaurants are certainly popular, locating in a gentle arc facing Northwest looking over the bay.
The JACC building design is by SSH:
The Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre will showcase performing arts and create a world class theatre quarter in a spacious parkland setting. Together with Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre, it will form Kuwait’s new national cultural district.
This circular pool nicelty coplements the low-slung decorative building beyond.

The building design is inspired by Islamic architecture with complex geometric shapes that create a richly textured outer skin, creating dramatic public spaces inside and out.

Inside, luxurious, world class buildings exude character, drama and a heightened sense of expectation. The wonders continue inside each building and visitors will find jewels within jewels as they explore the beautifully designed interiors.
