About this project
The design organizes a hands-on innovation lab around a sequence of white laminate workbench islands, each scaled for group use. Perforated-shell chairs in blue and warm taupe introduce controlled color against a restrained palette of dark carpet tile, exposed concrete soffit, and white structural columns. Pipe-and-plank shelving runs the full length of one wall, keeping power tools and materials on open display rather than concealed — a deliberate choice that treats the workshop's equipment as part of the spatial character.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing on two elevations draws daylight deep into the plan and provides visual relief from the density of equipment and seating. Warm timber cabinetry anchors the storage core, providing contrast to the predominantly white and grey surfaces. A wall-mounted typographic installation reinforces the program's ethos directly, without ambiguity — the space does not perform innovation, it enables it.
Pioneer Landmarks led the interior design and construction of this Riyadh facility. The brief called for a makerspace that could accommodate concurrent workshop sessions without spatial fragmentation. The resulting layout uses island clusters to define zones fluidly, keeping the floor plan open and reconfigurable while the shelving perimeter holds the program's operational infrastructure in plain view.
