The concept responds to Saudi Arabia’s architectural growth and creates a simpler path to discover designers for either hiring or one paid design request.
Why this platform matters
The platform is designed for a local context in which architectural identity, interior quality, and project presentation matter more than generic listings. It gives designers a stronger stage and gives clients a clearer basis for comparison.
Prototype value
Instead of acting only as a job board, Riwaq allows every designer profile to function as a hiring signal, a portfolio page, and a service landing page for individuals who want one specific design task.
Target users
The concept serves both structured hiring needs and smaller personal design requests, which makes it a more flexible digital product for the university assignment.
Browse specialists, compare portfolios, and discover professionals available for long-term or part-time collaboration.
Request one façade, one majlis, one apartment concept, or one design consultation without a long contract.
Present work samples, tools, availability, and services inside a polished portfolio-first identity.
Designer directory
Use the search bar and filters to narrow designers by specialty, work type, and city. Every result still opens a dedicated profile page with fictional contact details for demonstration only.
Search and filters
Search by designer name or keyword, then refine the list by specialty, work type, and city.
Luxury villas, façade systems, and contemporary residential identity
Majlis concepts, hospitality-inspired living areas, and detail-rich material styling
Mixed-use layouts, boutique offices, and concept development for small businesses and homes
Platform logic
The experience is intentionally simple. A visitor discovers a designer, checks the portfolio evidence, understands availability, and decides whether the need is a one-time request or a longer collaboration.
Prototype scope
This version now establishes the landing experience, bilingual brand identity, interactive filtering, and individual profile pages. The next logical additions are inquiry forms and a one-project request flow.
Visitors can search and filter profiles by specialty, city, and preferred work mode before opening a portfolio.
Every profile highlights selected works, contact options, and the kind of service the designer can offer.
The platform supports both long-term hiring interest and one-time design requests from individuals.
University project prototype
The current version includes the landing experience, interactive filtering, bilingual navigation, and separate profile pages for each featured designer. The structure is now suitable for continuing the assignment with proposal writing and later feature expansion.
