Entry Description

Earth Meets Sky "Al-Ardh Taltiq Bil-Samaa"
In Riyadh, the New Almana Hospital, a grounded D+T base, echoing the rugged limestone cliffs of Riyadh, anchors the design in permanence and strength. From this foundation rises a soaring bed tower, light and aspirational, reaching toward the sky. Inspired by the fluid forms of desert dunes and guided by Salmani principles, Authenticity, Continuity, Human-Centric, Livability, Innovation, Sustainability. The building becomes a dialogue of earth and sky, tradition and modernity, weight and grace, nature, and innovation, in a bold, harmonious expression.
