Rawdah, Jeddah
Al-Balad,
JEDDAH COMMUNITY ART CENTER
The art center acts as a focal point and beacon of light within the city, bringing the community together. Light is reflected not only physically but also conceptually throughout the building’s design, from its internal skylight to the facade’s play of light and shadow. The central atrium becomes a focal point for gathering, symbolizing warmth and enlightenment.

MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL HIGH RISE
Rawdah, Jeddah
In collaboration with Mashael Aldakheel
The tower invokes a sense of community through layered public gardens that elevate the quality of life in the neighborhood. The ground floor has a welcoming piazza that acts as a social hub. The gradual layering of the form creates a visual connection between the commercial and residential part, while still maintaining privacy with respect to the cultural norms.
