The Executive Centre’s newest premium flexible workspace in Riyadh occupies five floors of Building 2.08 in the King Abdullah Financial District, covering 9,500 square meters. Designed by TP Bennett Bluehaus, the space moves beyond conventional office setups, combining hospitality elements with workplace strategy to create a destination rather than just a functional office.
A hospitality-driven workspace with cultural storytelling
Each floor has a distinct theme inspired by Saudi Arabia’s natural environments—House of Breeze, House of Horizon, House of Sand, and House of Oasis—while maintaining a unified design approach. Materials, colors, and textures change subtly to evoke each setting without relying on literal representations.
Amber Alston Peters, project director at TP Bennett Bluehaus, explained that the goal was to rethink flexible workspaces. “Flexible workspaces can no longer just offer typical office spaces and desks,” she said. “The Executive Centre partnered with us to define what the future of a flexible workspace should look like, and to further raise the premium experience following their successful first centre located in Building 3.09. The focus became hospitality and creating a real point of difference.”

The design breaks away from repetitive layouts by framing the workspace as a journey. Reception areas resemble luxury hotels, featuring warm natural materials, curated artwork, and lounge seating. Social spaces extend beyond formal work zones, including outdoor cafés, lounges, and casual meeting spots to encourage interaction and relaxation.
Ricky Wells, global head of capital development at The Executive Centre, stated that the project demonstrates the company’s dedication to quality. “The Executive Centre continues to invest in premium, design-led workspaces that meet the expectations of today’s enterprise clients,” he said. “Our new flagship at Building 2.08 in KAFD reflects a clear commitment to quality, functionality and experience, combining flexible workspace solutions with a hospitality-driven approach.”
Workspaces designed for different needs—and wellness
The center provides a variety of settings: private offices, collaborative lounges, focus booths, meeting suites, quiet libraries, and work cafés. Outdoor terraces and a padel court offer areas for movement and socializing, embedding wellness into the daily routine.

The five-storey flexible workspace accommodates a broad spectrum of occupiers, from entrepreneurs and growing businesses to multinational organisations requiring premium workspaces.
The project expands on The Executive Centre’s earlier presence in Riyadh, where its first center in Building 3.09 laid the groundwork for this larger effort. Subtle references to Saudi Arabia are woven throughout the interiors through earthy tones, planting, textiles and tactile finishes, creating a workplace that feels firmly rooted in its context.
