Addiriyyah is a traditional adobe village, situated to the northwest of Riyadh. Its historic past, relating to the house of Saud, dates back over 250 years. The ADA launched a project for upgrading the entire precinct, including the historic and new urban developments. The focus was on creating a recreational destination for Saudi tradition and culture. It comprised of urban enhancements, parks, nature trails, new road construction as well as recreational, cultural and administrative facilities. We were part of the development team working on the urban enhancements. Here the design aimed at retaining the overall appearance in harmony with the traditional architecture of the surroundings.
