US-based architecture and design firm Perkins+Will has been selected to design a five-star hotel in the Diplomatic Quarter in Riyadh for Saudi Hotel and Resorts Company (Sharaco).
Due for completion in 2016, the firm’s low-rise four-storey design is inspired by the country’s wadis and oases, Perkins+Will said in a statement.

The project is part of Sharaco’s plan to deliver high-end schemes in the region.
