The development of original concept drawings supplied by Egyptian Architectural Practice, Design and Build.
Design changes included the scale of the design, the production techniques to be utilised during manufacture, and the addition of multiple design layers.
The creation of multiple half-height mock-up wall sections featuring various design options for initial consideration.
The creation of a full-height mock-up wall section for final approval.
Manufacturing Stage
The manufacture of over 1200 individual glass pieces.
Each piece of glass was water-jet cut to create precise shapes, slumped in the kiln, sandblasted to create a decorative front face, and silvered.
Part-assembly of the Majlis wall in our studios, creating sectional blocks that would allow for an efficient installation stage.
The design and manufacturing stages took over a year from project start to their completion.
Installation Stage
The glass sections and all materials required for installation were safely packed and freighted to Saudi Arabia ahead of our team.
A team of three from Daedalian Glass Studios was supplemented by a team of local contractors (supplied by Gallery Design) to install the Majlis Wall.
Royal Palace, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The Client:
This Royal Palace is the residence of a Prince of the House of Saud, the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia. The House of Saud are the descendants of Muhammad bin Saud, Founder of the first Saudi State in 1744.
The palace is located in the the Al Hada district of the Kingdom's Capital City, Riyadh. It's prime location is in close proximity to Al-Yamama Palace - the official residence of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
The Brief:
Daedalian Glass Studios were commissioned to design, manufacture, and install (with the aid of a local team of contractors) a four meters tall and ten meters wide decorative glass Majlis wall.
The design was also required to allow for a sectional assembly of the Majlis Wall at our UK studios before being shipped to Saudi Arabia, and for no joints to be visible once the installation is complete.
