We are delighted to see our project Solitaire taking shape on-site in Riyadh, KSA.
Benoy is delivering masterplanning, architecture, landscape design and interior design for the 65000sqm GLA scheme, which marks our largest on-site project in the Middle East region.
The project sees us breaking down the traditional form of a shopping mall and reinventing it as partially open-air retail streets, plazas and boutique streets alongside an elevated roof garden. Our sustainable design strategy includes a series of wind towers aiming to create a comfortable outdoor environment by using passive cooling technology.
The design vision is based on the crystalline forms of a geode which has inspired our design and informed the building’s facades, internal finishes and landscape. The diverse programmatic mix is arranged across three levels to create interconnected spaces to engage its users and promote wellbeing. The high quality public realm is the soul of the Solitaire; enticing landscape, water bodies and respite areas are created for the comfort of visitors, to enhance their physical experience.
