National Museum Qatar

The National Museum of Qatar (Doha), designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, is distinguished by its striking architecture, which is inspired by the natural formation known as the “desert rose.” Buchele was part of the construction project and supplied high-quality doors and gates that combine functional safety with aesthetic appeal.

  • Use of special sealing and weatherproofing systems to keep out wind and dust.
