Concept Design / Architecture / LandscapingArea - 37,000m²
The concept for this elegant tower in central Riyadh proposes 32 storeys of offices totalling 30,000m2 in addition to 4 or 5 basement levels for parking.
The design consists of a playful pattern of opaline, crystal glass boxes in shades of white set in vertical golden mesh frames.
The textured façades mimic moucharabieh, carved wooden latticework that encloses projecting oriel windows in traditional Islamic architecture, and are illuminated at night to create arabesque patterns.
Suspended gardens create green spaces and water surfaces introduce a chess-like landscape of hard and soft plots within the highly textured façades, forming intermittent, vertical breathing spaces.
