Description
LOCATION: RIYADH, KSA
USE: HOSPITALITY
Scope: FAÇADE LIGHTING DESIGN
University Towers is a new landmark development in Riyadh owned by King Saud University as a long-term development endowment. The complex consists of eleven distinct buildings and towers, including a five-star hotel and two hotel suite buildings.
The main approach for these was to improve their key architectural features, making them stand out in the context of the development. The podium layers were lit to create a strong visual foundation, while the upper podium floors’ voids were used to create rhythm. Hidden cove lights along the perimeter separate the main masses, while key elements on the elevations are lit to scale the building down to human proportions and provide visual appeal.
All of this, combined with the massive illuminated glazing surfaces, creates a composition of light and shadows that depicts the buildings’ grand gesture.
