The Jax District Diriyah parking project is an innovative, five-level facility for 323 cars.It seamlessly integrates with the district's transformation from industrial to cultural center. Featuring an L-shaped retail area with a terrace, the design is inspired by pitched roof warehouses, honoring its industrial roots.Constructed from steel and adorned with rusted steel cladding, it offers a unique aesthetic varying from solid to perforated sheets based on air, light, and functional requirements. The project epitomizes the fusion of history,functionality,and artistic expression.
