The IMK renovation in Jeddah addresses the interior of an existing private residence. The scope combines spatial review, finishes and the coordination of rooms with different environmental requirements, including the indoor swimming area.

Work begins with understanding the existing building. Measurements from floor to ceiling and the recording of its architectural elements provide a basis for modelling, quantities and cost review. BIM is used to organize this information and coordinate the proposed intervention.

The design balances the owner’s requirements with the condition of the building and the practical implications of replacement materials. Cost planning and maintenance are considered alongside the appearance of the rooms, without treating a single maintenance percentage as a universal measure of success.

The indoor pool requires particular attention to moisture, ventilation and the interfaces between wet and dry finishes. The proposal considers appropriate surface materials and detailing in this zone, while the adjacent circulation and bathing areas form part of the same interior sequence.

The visualizations show recessed seating, timber-lined surfaces, a kitchen island and the contrast between dark wet-area finishes and lighter living spaces. The aim is a coherent interior that remains attentive to everyday use and upkeep. A broader hospitality interior is documented in Joharji Hotel.
