About Al Majlis Diseño de Interiores de Restaurante

Al Majlis es un restaurante tradicional saudí ubicado dentro de un centro comercial en Riad. El interior abarca 1.570 metros cuadrados y evoca el carácter urbano de la arquitectura saudí de los años sesenta. Módulos desplazados conforman callejones dinámicos y una composición variada de volúmenes. Los comensales se sientan y comen en el suelo en grupos, y a cada grupo se le asigna una sala cerrada o semicerrada que garantiza su privacidad. Los acabados incluyen estuco, madera de nogal mate, celosías perforadas y mashrabiya, combinando elementos modernos y culturales que reflejan el patrimonio saudí.
