Tuwaiq Palace Recipient of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, 1998.

Tuwaiq Palace enclosed by inclined curved walls, forming a sinuous curvilinear spine 800 m long, 12 m high, and 7-13 m wide, used for guest services and accommodations outdoor sports facilities, gardens, and extensive landscaping laid out in a pattern of complementary spirals, circles, and curves, in harmony with the building's undulations

Mushrooming from the spine are tents supported by tensile-structure technology design makes reference to two local archetypes - the fortress and the tent

The tents enclose the large-scale spaces: main lounges, reception areas, multi-purpose halls, restaurants, and a café dramatic contrast between the lush greenery of the outdoor spaces enclosed by the spine and the arid rocky plateau beyond its walls The white tents are made of Teflon-coated, woven fibre fabric The tents are enclosed by glass walls
