Landscape

Landscape design begins with shade, microclimate, and movement: where people will sit, walk, and gather, and how to make those places tolerable through a long, hot summer. We model sun and shadow across the day to position pergolas, tree canopy, and built shade, and we grade levels so that drainage, accessibility, and the architecture read as one continuous ground plane.

Planting is selected for the arid Riyadh climate, favouring native and adapted species that withstand heat and salinity while keeping water demand low. We pair this with efficient drip irrigation, soil and mulch strategies, and where appropriate treated-water and smart controllers, so gardens remain healthy without excessive consumption across the public realm of compounds, developments, and private palaces.

Hardscape, water features, planting, and lighting are detailed together and coordinated with civil and electrical works, so falls, sleeves, conduits, and footings are set before paving and soft works begin. The result is exterior space that extends the building, performs in the climate, and is realistic to maintain.
