The AlUla Design Studio has been established to provide free building design advice to the local community when designing their new homes.
Drawing inspiration from AlUla
A future architect at the Prince’s Foundation Girls School of Traditional Arts
The AlUla Design Studio was created to open development opportunities for the community as part of the urban regeneration of AlUla. Architectural design advice will be provided to citizens and their appointed architects to ensure building designs are of the necessary quality and integrate into the urban and natural landscapes of the region.
The Royal Commission for AlUla and AFALULA have worked with a team of highly skilled urban planning professionals to establish the AlUla Design Studio. This team will assess future building designs and provide guidance to architects and their clients in following the design guidelines and planning principles.
The role of the AlUla Design Studio is to advise on new building designs, extensions, alterations, beautifications, restorations, and conservations for different design stages such as concept development, design development, and final design.
The AlUla Design Studio team is also working with planning experts to enhance the skills of local architecture & engineering firms.
Other responsibilities of the AlUla Design Studio include:
Architects are responsible for supporting their clients through the design process and making applications for building permits.
