AlRiyadhTownshipDevelopment

Place making and creating a breathable urban space comes at the core of the design strategy of the proposal. Given the ambitious targets required, the regular design direction would entail a very dense fabric and would not eventually deliver the required design image. Hence, the core of the design emerged form the notion to increase the efficiency of the building component to aim at decreasing the build-able space, saving densities as well as construction costs.

The requirement of providing 1,920 units with a GFA 313,000 SqM would be severely harsh on the urban fabric in terms of building density. Therefore, the design aimed at providing above average buildings’ efficiencies where the required number of units would be met with less than the GFA required. This would not only result in an increase in the urban permeability and enhancement of the human scale experience, but it would also lead to immense cost saving for the project where less GFA automatically less construction area.
