BEYOND THE OFFICE
One far-reaching roof gathers separate volumes, open-air courtyards and planted terraces into a coherent composition shaped by the desert climate
Space of Its Own
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The CEO's quarters form a fully independent part of the headquarters, with a dedicated entrance, private parking, and a secluded garden terrace. A large, divisible conference room creates a carefully controlled connection to the shared workplace, accommodating both major meetings and smaller conversations. Separated from the main reception by an open courtyard, this private domain offers autonomy without isolation — an architecture of discretion, clarity, and quiet confidence.
MATERIAL EXPRESSION
Warm travertine, natural timber and layers of greenery create a tactile architectural language rooted in the tones and textures of the surrounding landscape
layouts
Arrival here carries the warmth of a private home — an experience of hospitality, openness and sophistication
The main reception moves beyond the traditional corporate lobby. Conceived as a welcoming clubroom, it brings together a generous living area, a statement kitchen, and views toward the central courtyard. The workplace brings together an open-plan office, private management rooms, executive offices, and dedicated meeting spaces — each designed around different ways of working.
