Circle of Life

Alula, Saudi Arabia
Visualization © Christoph Hesse Architects

Circle of Life envisions the revitalization of an abandoned oasis farm in the ancient AlUla Valley in eastern Saudi Arabia. The project aims to create a fully organic space where people can come together to cultivate the land and exchange ideas on regenerative practices.

The entire complex serves as a beacon of social and ecological awareness, fostering innovation in agriculture, culture, and hospitality. Crafted from locally sourced natural materials, Circle of Life blends harmoniously with its surroundings. The project is divided into three key sections: the vibrant ‘Farm to Table’ area, where garden produce is prepared and shared in communal gatherings; an ‘Open Meeting Space’ at its heart; and a dedicated area for ‘Contemplation and Reflection’, hosting lectures, discussions, and exchanges on regenerative agriculture.
