About Al Majlis Design de Interiores de Restaurante

Al Majlis é um restaurante tradicional saudita situado no interior de um shopping center em Riade. Os interiores ocupam 1.570 metros quadrados e evocam o caráter urbano da arquitetura saudita dos anos sessenta. Módulos deslocados formam vielas dinâmicas e uma composição variada de volumes. Os hóspedes sentam-se e comem no chão em grupos, e a cada grupo é destinada uma sala fechada ou semifechada que garante privacidade. Os acabamentos incluem estuque, madeira de nogueira fosca, painéis perfurados e mashrabiya, combinando elementos modernos e culturais que refletem a herança saudita.
