About the project
Bayfront by Al Muhaidib is a waterfront development on the Al Khobar corniche in Saudi Arabia. Muharraqi Studios did not design the masterplan or the architecture; the approved project design was developed by the project architects.
The studio built the development as a CityView real-time interactive environment and produced supporting architectural imagery from it, working with its Saudi partners. The system’s automated presentation mode also generated cinematic sequences for unattended display; there was no separately commissioned architectural film.
Bayfront introduced a major real-time development for the studio: seawater and shoreline visual simulation inside the CityView environment. Moving water, its interaction with the shoreline and the wet-sand areas significantly improved the realism of the waterfront and enabled stronger cinematic and presentation views. The system served the sales centre, exhibitions, marketing and client presentations.
Outcome
The completed CityView environment and supporting imagery provided a reusable sales and presentation platform throughout the development and delivery of the project.
