Darb designs and builds showrooms across Riyadh — automotive galleries, luxury and jewellery boutiques, furniture flagships, and category concept stores. Product-first lighting, hero plinths built in-house, and the finish quality a signature product deserves. The room reads as premium the moment a visitor steps in; the product doesn't fight the interior for attention.
The finish spec and the lighting rig change with the tier; the in-house craft stays the same across all three.
For dealerships and automotive brands — turntables or fixed platforms, hero-car placement, service reception, VIP customer lounge, and the polished-concrete or seamless-tile floor that reads as gallery.
For fine jewellery, watches, leather goods, and luxury fashion — museum-quality display cases, precision lighting, secured back-office, and the finish spec that matches the price point on the shelf.
For furniture, electronics, home fittings, and design brands opening a flagship — vignettes and room-sets, interactive product demos, and the space to breathe that a category flagship needs.
Concept through opening day — design, permits, finishes, in-house display millwork, product lighting, brand signage.
Every engagement is scoped to the product tier, the location, and the handover date — proposals return within 48 hours of the site brief.
The full turn-key engagement — concept, drawings, permits, build, brand-signature elements, handover.
For brands with a global design partner — we take the CI package and deliver in Riyadh with local materials and Saudi-compliant MEP.
For brands opening multiple showrooms — one project director, standardised finish + lighting package, rolling handovers.
Every engagement is fully customised — send the tier, the location, and the target opening date; a tailored proposal returns within 48 hours.
Showroom lead time is lighter than restaurant (no BOH kitchen) but heavier than retail (higher finish spec, custom hero elements). Automotive sits at the top of the range because of the turntable + service-bay MEP.
We visit the space, take measurements, and pull the brand CI package (or start from scratch). Rough budget bracket returned within 48 hours.
Two concept directions + 3D visualisation. One direction gets picked, we detail it into full construction drawings, finishes spec, and lighting plan.
Municipality + landlord permits filed. In-house fabrication of plinths + display walls + hero millwork runs in parallel. Site build starts as soon as clearances land — MEP + partitions + finishes + custom install.
Snag walkthrough with you, product placement day supported by our team, handover on the target date. Lighting fine-tuned to the actual product on the shelf, not the render.
Regularly — the global CI packages from automotive OEMs and luxury groups are what we translate into a locally-buildable spec. We source the closest local-market equivalents to the brand-required materials (Italian marbles, Belgian glazing, German lighting fixtures) and file the exact material samples for the brand's approval before ordering.
Yes — turntables (motorised or manual), fixed hero platforms, and the platform MEP + weight-loading engineering. We coordinate with the turntable manufacturer directly and integrate the platform into the finish spec so it reads as one gallery piece, not a bolted-on machine.
Showroom lighting is different from retail lighting in three ways: higher CRI (95+ for jewellery, watches, luxury fashion), tighter beam control (spot rigs on product, wash on architecture), and colour temperature choices per category (warm 2700-3000K for luxury, neutral 3500-4000K for automotive and electronics). Lighting is designed with the concept, not added at MEP stage.
Yes — museum-quality display cases with reinforced glazing (5-8mm laminated or thicker per insurance spec), integrated cabling for camera + alarm feeds, hidden safe placement, back-office reinforcement, and coordination with your security vendor for camera + access-control install. The security layer is planned from the concept, not retrofitted.
Depends on tier and category. Automotive: polished concrete or seamless large-format tile for the gallery feel + tile-line MEP access to the service bay. Luxury boutiques: engineered wood, natural stone, or high-spec terrazzo. Furniture flagships: mixed — usually neutral engineered wood or concrete with vignette rugs. We spec the floor with the product placement in mind, not as a generic finish choice.
Standard scope. Private-view rooms for jewellery clients, VIP customer lounges in automotive, consultation booths in furniture flagships — all built in-house from bespoke joinery, acoustic treatment for privacy, and MEP for premium AV.
Portfolio-level programme engagement. Standardised design package, standardised display fabrication, standardised lighting rig. Rolling handovers so the brand can open one showroom while the next is still in fit-out. One project director carries the CI enforcement across every site — no drift.
Yes — VAT-registered invoicing with 15% VAT applied, corporate PO handling, and payment terms that fit a showroom-opening calendar (typically 20/30/30/20 across signature / drawings sign-off / mid-build / handover).
Send the tier, the location, and your target opening date. A tailored proposal — concept direction, finish + lighting spec, budget bracket, timeline — returns within 48 hours.
