Traditional Restaurant for Mi-nus

Al Majlis is a famous traditional Saudi restaurant, presenting the essence of typical sixties experience in Riyadh. The designer conceptual idea was to implement the traditional exterior urban fabric inside using shifting modules to create dynamic composition of masses and walkways. To achieve this experience while respecting the cultural aspects and complicated operational needs were the main design challenges. Earthy colors, traditional patterns, natural materials, rustic effects and real pre-owned accessories were used to fully immerse users in an authentic experience.
