Dar Al-Handasah Consultants (Shair and Partners) — Dar — was responsible for developing and delivering the detailed design of this iconic new stadium, actualizing the signature architect’s vision of a stunning new structure inspired by the natural environment. Dar also delivered the detailed design of the mixed-use masterplan facilities and infrastructure.

Dar’s sister Sidara company Maffeis Engineering – one of the world’s most specialized structural engineering consultancies – delivered the detailed design of the stunning and structurally unique roof and façade system.

Dar also crafted the sustainability strategy for the stadium, targeting LEED and Mostadam certifications and setting exceptional standards for sustainable stadiums in hot climates, while aligning with Saudi Vision 2030, the Saudi Green Initiative and local and international regulations. The strategy includes measures for implementing passive and active energy efficiency incorporating demand response technologies, reducing water use, diverting operational waste away from landfills, and specifying eco-friendly, local, and recycled products.
