Iwan Square
Mixed-use commercial destination · Makkah · 2023–2024
Case Study
Overview
Iwan Square is the most complete expression of the practice — a mixed-use commercial destination in Makkah where massing, façade, interior atmosphere, and user movement are resolved as one readable and buildable architectural story.
Key Contributions
- ·Translated a layered commercial program into coordinated massing and circulation
- ·Articulated the façade in a contemporary reading of Islamic proportion
- ·Resolved the arcade and lobby as a continuous spatial experience
- ·Produced original sheets: S-101/102/103, A-101/102/103, EL series, SP-001
- ·Linked cinematic representation to a readable, buildable technical record
Outcome / Value
A complete commercial package combining cinematic clarity with an original technical record that ties each design decision back to deliverability.
- Role
- Architect — design development, visualization, and technical documentation
- Scope
- Massing and façade studies, arcade and lobby interior atmosphere, and a complete set of original technical sheets (sections, plans, elevations, site plan).
Iwan Square is the most complete expression of the practice: a mixed-use commercial destination in Makkah where massing, façade, interior atmosphere, and user movement are resolved as one architectural story.
The project moves fluidly between cinematic representation and original technical documentation, so the imagery is not promotional surface only, but an extension of a readable and buildable technical logic.
