DGDC Corporate Headquarters Riyadh, KSA

This 16,200m2 six -story building will be the headquarters for Diriyah Gate Development Corporation. It also has 233 subterranean parking, retail, F&B and other amenities. Historically, the Islamic street was the most important artery of the city and was often referred to as the Qasaba (or Qasabah). It constituted the main axis of the city's economic zones where its souqs (markets) were concentrated. As far back as their 7th century origins, the streets in Islamic cities were the heart and soul of life. Like historical precedents, each of the proposed buildings connect to courtyard, fusing them together into a walkable vibrant neighborhood that follow similar organizational patterns and strategies of historic cities such as Riyadh, Dubai and Medina. Protected from the sun by the building form that shades important spaces, the courtyards are often lined with shops, public & private amenities including provisions for dimensions of comfort, safety and ease of mobility for pedestrians. Like ancient Islamic cities, they will be vibrant places where Saudi people can gather, meet, interact and exchange ideas both day and night, attracting people from adjacent and more distant locations.
