Challenge
Tahlia Street is a prominent location in the heart of Riyadh. In order to encourage growth and develop the area’s cultural and commercial offering, our client wanted to create a unique F&B led retail development. As a major thoroughfare for the city, we had to ensure that our designs understood the location and logistics, while creating an active, vibrant family destination for Riyadh’s discerning residents.
Solution
The architectural form draws inspiration from Riyadh’s smooth desert sandstone landscapes. Using the narrow frontage to our advantage, we sculpted a bold, striking presence which then leads to an elegantly designed building. External street F&B units engage and activate the site with its surroundings, whilst creating a unique destination and a strong brand identity.
Result
Project completed and open.
