Located at the end of a narrow canyon in the desert in AlUla, in Saudi Arabia,
KWY.studio has created a visitor centre characterized by having a space that offers a unique uninterrupted view towards the landscape of stratified cliffs to the west, creating an interesting contrast with the north, east and south walls of the canyon that surrounds the project.
The project is sequential and offers an experience that, through directional movement through its different spaces, compresses and expands the visitor's perception of the spectacular landscape that surrounds it.
Crossing the lobby space, the geometry of the building generates a prism that leads you to an open-air patio followed by a reflected lobby on the opposite side, which takes the visitor to the centre of the complex where a central circular opening frames a panoramic view of the exterior. , creating a sequence that allows the visitor to get to know the building as well as the environment in which it is located.
