Dirah Boutique Hotel — Diriyah, KSA Hospitality Project
A 40-key boutique stay set within Diriyah's historic mudbrick district.
A Stay Rooted in
Diriyah's Fabric.
The brief asked for a boutique hotel that felt native to Diriyah's mudbrick streets, not dropped onto them. We matched the district's material palette and roofline rhythm while building to a modern hospitality standard behind the facade.
Vivere delivered architecture, interiors and construction as one contract, coordinating with the district's heritage guidelines throughout design and build.
How We
Got There.
The brief, the problem it created, and how the design resolved it.
Scope
Design and construct a 40-key boutique hotel within heritage zoning guidelines, delivering complete structural and interior fit-out within 16 months.
Challenge
Strict heritage facade restrictions required traditional mudbrick aesthetic while meeting modern acoustics, fire safety, and HVAC standards.
Solution
Engineered a modern dual-layer facade with authentic local earthen render over high-performance insulated masonry.
Result
Delivered fully compliant boutique hospitality destination with 95% occupancy in its inaugural season.
