      Sad to see the beginning of the demolition of the Al Khozama complex in Riyadh that was designed in 1984 by Architects Zapco Ltd., Zwimpfer - Meyer (demolition image via @SimeonKerr) This is why we need laws to protect modern architecture in the Gulf. #SaudiArabia #Saudipic.twitter.com/XEE1FxDRlS

      That's the complex, not the hotel, which would be out of the frame to the right. Is the hotel going down as well? I really liked the back garden, and the BBQs.

      I can report that, as of a few weeks ago at least, the hotel back garden is intact and open for business.

      Hotel set for demolition as well, unfortunately, with new hotel going up in its place. But timing unclear.

      I lived in an appt. there in the late 80's. It was built by a Swiss company and was one of the highest quality buildings constructed in Riyadh. A pity really since its a very nice building. The hotel however was a prefab constructed in late 70's and is well past its sell by date.

          Through continuous maintenance we can preserve and prolong the lifespan of buildings, sadly that is a rarity in the region
