The Design
About Next Hub Complexe à usage mixte
Next Hub est un complexe à usage mixte situé à Djeddah, en Arabie saoudite, qui réunit des zones d'hôtellerie, de bureaux, de divertissement, de commerce, de restauration et de loisirs. La composition explore la relation entre le plein et le vide. Les volumes bâtis enserrent une place ouverte centrale, évoquant les marchés traditionnels et créant une expérience urbaine propice à l'interaction sociale. Les cours intérieures apportent ventilation naturelle et lumière du jour aux bâtiments de l'hôtel et des bureaux. Les finitions comprennent la pierre de travertin adoucie, l'acier noir et le vitrage double.
