The new Office for Shared New Finance & Human Resources Building of the Saudi Airlines is in the center of the city Jeddah. The cube-shaped building stands on a plinth containing parking and other facilities. Inside is a huge atrium with trees around which all the rooms are located. From the Workspaces there is a view to the outside, but the sunlight is kept out as much as possible. The atrium has a partially open roof and large windows to the city. As a result, there is a filtered sunlight throughout the building. The facade is subject of study. The search for the balance between the high summer temperatures on the one hand, and the ambition of the client to give the building an individuality and identit, on the other.
