Recognized with dual honors at the 2025 Architizer A+ Awards, the project redefines conventional perceptions of utility spaces by integrating them seamlessly into Riyadh’s largest public park. The Water Treatment Complex spans 137,000 square meters and combines a potable water plant, sewage treatment facility, and effluent recycling system. All of these functionalities are designed to support the park’s lush urban forest and wadi ecosystems. By employing cutting-edge technologies like ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, the facility processes nearly 200,000 cubic meters of water daily. Stone-clad walls and [green roofs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redesigned-rooftop-garden) disguise utilitarian functions, while shaded pathways invite visitors to explore the site as part of the park’s natural topography. The design cleverly merges industrial necessity with public engagement.
