At Atheel Hotel in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District, this project documents the curated art collection Artychoke integrated throughout the property, a hospitality studio built specifically around blending fine art with interior design rather than treating it as an afterthought. Working as director, photographer, and editor, I shot the space with that integration in mind: composing each frame so the art reads as part of the architecture rather than as objects placed inside it, which meant working around how each piece actually receives light through the day rather than lighting it separately. Set within KAFD, a district better known for its towers than its hospitality interiors, the project sits alongside other KAFD Metro Station work in the architecture photography portfolio, giving Artychoke a set of images built for their own portfolio and client-facing use.
Featured in Artychoke’s award-winning entry for ‘Best Use of Art in Interior Design’ at the CID MENA Awards 2026. These photographs capture over 100 works across 30+ spaces at Atheel KAFD Hotel, translating the atmosphere through light, scale, and detail.
