Plans unveilels for Saudi Arabia mixed use development

17 December 2011: A new SR117m mixed-use development on the east coast of Saudi Arabia. Designed for a private client, the 50,000 sq ft development has been and comprises six floors of open-plan office space, retail units on the ground floor and a new gymnasium and spa facility. The design features a triple skinned facade with chevrons of stainless steel set apart as a grid by a thousand individually LED-lit faceted acrylic crystals, each held in place by a plated gold finial, which act as low angle and high angle solar control and refer back to the traditional 'Mashrabiya' of Islamic and Middle Eastern architecture. Work is expected to start on site in spring with the project due for completion in 2013.
