AlUla fuel stations redefine desert architecture
ALULA: Fuel stations in the AlUla governorate showcase a modern approach to urban planning, with designs inspired by the region’s natural landscape and desert palette.
They harmonize architecture with the environment, enhance the urban landscape, and redefine traditional fuel stations, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The designs use contemporary materials and lines that reflect AlUla’s identity, enriching aesthetics and user experience while preserving the desert setting.
Architect Salwa Samargandi of SAL Architects developed these innovative designs, balancing functionality and aesthetics with inspiration from AlUla’s cultural heritage.
One fuel station project won the World Architecture Award in the Realized Projects category, selected by an international jury.
These initiatives are part of the Royal Commission for AlUla’s efforts to enhance infrastructure, support national talent, and improve services for residents and visitors.
The commission also established the AlUla Design Studio to guide architects and the community in creating projects that harmonize with the natural environment.
The studio offers consultations on new constructions and restorations, ensuring compliance with urban planning and sustainability standards.
This participatory approach preserves AlUla’s architectural heritage while empowering the local community to choose development options that respect the region’s history and uphold safety and sustainability.
