Edafah Apartments, KSA

For the EDAFAH proposal the following objectives were highlighted from a design perspective:

– Challenge the typical ‘chain-hotel’ typology of anonymous qualities and generic feel.

– Propose different degrees of public spaces that act as transition from the city into the heart of the building.

– Provide an architectural identity for EDAFAH that is contemporary in expression, yet sensitive to its context; and uniquely adapted to the site and its high visibility from the highway, not unlike the bold modern precedents of both urban planning with Doxiades in Riyadh, and architectural expression with Nervi in Al-Khobar.
