File includes 39 drawings (29 plans, 4 sections, 3 exterior perspectives, 2 interior perspectives, 1 circulation diagram) and 3 photographs (1 aerial view of site, 2 prints of site model). The hotel I residential complex in the city of Medina is a modified version of the Sawaber project. It is simpler in form, connecting the stepped blocks at the top. The site is irregular in shape filled with vegetation and trellis-covered parking. The project incorporated an existing mosque and turned the souk-like street into a grand lobby, a shopping concourse for the hotel and a community place for the apartments.
