Inspiration has been taken from the building practices of traditional homes of AlUla, featuring characteristics such as:

  • Shaded inner courtyards to improve ventilation
  • Increased use of natural light
  • Private outdoor space
  • Colours and materials that compliment AlUla’s natural landscape
  • Commercial properties set back from the street to create more space for walking
  • Shaded sidewalks and social areas to improve neighbourhoods
