Challenge:
The challenge was to create a modern interior design concept that draws inspiration from the traditional Najdi town morphology and its interplay of light, shadow, and voids. The aim was to reinterpret these traditional parameters and seamlessly incorporate them into a contemporary, luxurious space that resonates with the cultural and geographical context of Riyadh.
Approach:
The concept was rooted in reimagining Najdi traditions through modern architectural language. By using local rough stone, sleek glass, and sharp metal accents, the design achieved a balance between raw authenticity and refined elegance. The interior spaces were crafted to reflect the angular geometry and dramatic voids of the building’s exterior, resulting in a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
A central focus was placed on verticality and openness, inspired by the peaks and valleys of the Saudi topography. This was expressed in soaring interior volumes and strategic placement of openings that allowed natural light to cast ever-changing patterns across the surfaces. The material palette harmonized the traditional and the contemporary, fostering a sense of grounded luxury.
Impact:
The interior design delivered a modern yet culturally rooted experience, blending heritage with innovation. The resulting environment not only honors Najdi traditions but also redefines them in a sophisticated, contemporary framework. Visitors to the building are greeted with spaces that feel simultaneously timeless and cutting-edge, offering a sense of comfort, inspiration, and connection to the surrounding landscape and cultural heritage.
