About Next Hub Complesso polifunzionale
Next Hub è un complesso polifunzionale a Gedda, in Arabia Saudita, che riunisce zone dedicate all'ospitalità, agli uffici direzionali, all'intrattenimento, al commercio al dettaglio, alla ristorazione e allo svago. La composizione indaga il rapporto tra pieni e vuoti. I volumi edificati racchiudono una piazza centrale aperta, che richiama i mercati tradizionali e genera un'esperienza urbana ricca di interazione sociale. Le corti interne portano ventilazione naturale e luce diurna all'interno degli edifici dell'hotel e degli uffici. Le finiture comprendono pietra travertino levigata, acciaio nero e vetro a doppia camera.

Inspired by Arabic traditional architecture, the hotel and admin buildings were designed with internal courts to bring in natural ventilation and sunlight.
