Situated in the heart of Riyadh, the 12-Villas project is a residential complex that responds to contemporary urban living while drawing inspiration from the lessons of the past. The developer’s brief emphasized maximizing the site’s potential, presenting a clear challenge. In response, the design strategically occupied 70% of the plot area, ensuring efficient land use while maintaining quality, privacy, and individuality across all units. A 7,000 sqm residential block on a 2,520 sqm plot, composed of twelve independent villas that function collectively as a unified whole—without falling into repetition or monotony.
These villas vary slightly in their formal articulation, yet respond to a similar approach of spatial organization. Informed by the grid of the city, the project adapts to its context while responding to its user needs.
Three different residential typologies have been conceived, ranging in size from 535 to 580 sqm, spread over 3 floors with a basement. Each varies in volumetric manipulation and spatial organization, yet respond to similar parameters: the local climate, inhabitants’ needs, and the urban framework.
The manipulation of the grid, with the intent to introduce a playful, rhythmic pattern, generates the “Pixel” effect experienced along the street, breaking from the conventional, unintentionally acquired redundancy of neighboring projects, and avoiding the pitfalls of a bland, non-contextual modernism.
The contextuality of the project was reinforced by the use of material and shading elements. Local Riyadh stone acts as the envelope to the pixelated facade, providing an additional layer of insulation. Perforated panels were introduced to provide privacy and climate control, while giving a contemporary identity to this residential community, in tune with the heritage of the region.
