DESIGN NAME: Trojena Ski Village
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mixed Use Development
INSPIRATION: Challenging millennia-old village designs, the proposal reimagines urbanism by replacing traditional horizontal layouts with streets to a vertical village concept. This approach eliminates streets, elevates living spaces, integrates ski slopes over buildings, and merges functions for a mixed-use environment. It aims to preserve nature, enhance microclimates, and foster a new interaction between architecture and landscape, creating a cohesive community with shaded public areas.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Trojena Ski Village, the world's first vertical ski village, will be a year-round destination offering more than just skiing. It will host art, music, and cultural festivals alongside sporting events. In winter, visitors can enjoy snowy slopes, while other seasons offer skiing on synthetic surfaces, mountain biking, zip lining, and an Alpine coaster. This unique spot blends technology with nature, providing a variety of mountain sports and activities.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Design started in 2021. Expected to operate by 2026 in Neom, Tabuk, KSA.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Trojena's advanced snowmaking system, a world-leading setup, integrates traditional Fangun and all-weather techniques, powered entirely by renewable energy. It features heat recovery for local development, maximizes water reuse, and uses water from renewable-powered desalination with zero brine discharge, refining brine for industrial and agricultural products.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Ski Village aims to reuse locally sourced Granite/Basalt, mimicking local geology with innovative products. It proposes Reconstituted Stone, 3D Printed Concrete, Clay, Glass Mineral Replica, Sand Casted Concrete, Ceramic, Rock Items, Natural Stone with Glass, GRC & Resin, UHPC, Aluminum & Steel Panels, Carbon Fiber, GRP, Terracota, and Aluminum Foam.
