This project involves the repositioning of an existing retail center within an emerging district in Al Khobar, aiming to transform an outdated asset into a vibrant F&B and retail destination. The intervention focuses on enhancing visual identity, increasing footfall, and redefining the building’s presence within its evolving urban context.

​​​

The strategy balances cost efficiency with architectural impact by retaining the existing 10-meter structural grid, minimizing structural intervention while allowing for a comprehensive upgrade of the building envelope and user experience. This approach enables a targeted investment in areas that directly influence perception and activation.

​​​

The design introduces a dynamic façade system composed of a segmented aluminum and glass grid, articulated in 1.25-meter modules with varying depths and projections. This layered treatment, combined with a faceted roof and vertical wooden louvers, creates a sense of movement and visual interest across the elevation. The result is a contemporary and distinctive identity that revitalizes the asset and positions it competitively within the local retail landscape.
