Private palace in Al-Malqa
Curved glass facades and entrance doors outside; glass balustrades and walnut joinery inside, for a private palace in north Riyadh.
The work
Outside, we glazed the palace’s curved drum and the tall windows set into its stone cladding, and fitted the wood-grain entrance doors.
Inside, a tinted glass balustrade on brass posts runs around the double-height hall and along the upper gallery. In the dining room we made and installed the walnut sideboards and the book-matched walnut wall panelling behind them.
