The idea behind the Riyadh Park Inn Hotel originated from the concept of blocks. The proposed hotel lies as a large dynamic element radiating light from the elongated slim slits of its façade and breaking up to expose its central spine, the atrium, defining the entrance and the common spaces of the hotel. The design investigates the relationship between mass and void, creating a sense of privacy where little exposure of the hotel’s internal private activities are reflected to the outside. The building’s reading is one very much related to the local architectural language of mass and stone.
