Aulober: RIYMAR Real Estate
"JSWD wins Riymal Real Estate‘s invited architecture competition for spectaculare mixed-used development in the heard of Riyadh. JSWD has been chosen for iconic RIYMAR Towers initiative on King Fahd Road and Olaya Street. The winning design is inspired by Saudi Arabia’s natural landscape and architectural traditions.
RIYMAR Real Estate announced that leading German studio JSWD has won its international invited competition to select an outstanding architect-led team to design an exemplary new landmark for Riyadh.
RIYMAR Towers will be Riyadh’s new in-demand address and the jewel in RIYMAR Real Estate’s investment portfolio. The site is at the heart of the capital – benefitting from the exceptional connectivity of King Fahd Road and Olaya Street, and a nearby metro station.
JSWD’s winning concept impressed RIYMAR Real Estate with its contemporary and ambitious form that takes inspiration from the dramatic Tuwaiq mountains and from Riyadh’s vernacular traditions. The carved vertical forms reference ancient geological forms – juxtaposed with oasis-like terrace gardens – and through their geometry and material texture allude to historic Diriyah birthplace of modern Saudi Arabia.
The development will contribute to Riyadh’s sweeping transformation under Vision 2030, encouraging culture, hospitality and tourism; increasing homeownership for Saudis; and transforming the capital into a world-leading city. RIYMAR Towers are located next to the popular Riyadh Gallery complex."
