Challenge
The task was not to erase the old building, but to make it usable, safe and legible while retaining its social value and local character.
Alfusha: a neighbourhood centre
The rehabilitation of an old residential building in North Khobar into a community centre and cultural café for the neighbourhood.
Idea
The proposal uses a lightweight, low-cost structural system, orients spaces through site analysis, creates a clear emergency route and introduces local materials that reveal rather than compete with the original.
Outcome
Warm, flexible interiors progress from arrival to gathering, with patterned shade and controlled light reviving the historic details.
