Challenge
The site for Green Tower sits on a prominent location on the King Salman Road which offers a unique opportunity to capture the cityscape views of Riyadh. We were asked to deliver a design which was both iconic and striking but also very much in tune with local traditional architectural styles.
Solution
Working closely with our client OSUS, the team based their design concept on a vision of Riyadh as a garden city. The tower includes a unique garden box concept that twists its way up the tower structure, connecting it to the surrounding urban landscape. In addition, the design allows for panoramic views that change as you navigate the building, offering an ever-evolving interaction with the cityscape and beyond. Green Tower will be a groundbreaking new office tower in Riyadh. The scheme will use sustainable design principles to create a workplace environment centred on wellbeing and innovation, sitting at the heart of the city.
Result
Project in development. Our designs were awarded ‘Best New Concept’ at the Design Middle East Awards 2024.
