- Transform the existing school into a **Contemporary Eastern Coast Saudi architectural style**, using the provided Eastern Coast architecture image as the PRIMARY STYLE REFERENCE.
This is a FAÇADE RENOVATION, NOT a new building design.
STRICTLY PRESERVE:
• Exact original school massing, footprint, height and number of floors
• Existing structural volumes
• Main entrance location
• Existing window locations and general rhythm
• EXACT original camera position, angle, perspective, crop and street relationship
The final result must clearly remain THIS SAME SCHOOL from the SAME VIEWPOINT.
STYLE REFERENCE:
Study the provided Eastern Coast reference and translate its architectural language to a contemporary PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Extract the architectural principles — DO NOT copy the residential villa form.
Apply:
• Layered rectangular façade masses
• Subtle stepped façade composition
• Deep recessed vertical openings
• Strong horizontal projections and shading ledges
• Projecting contemporary canopies inspired by the reference
• Warm off-white and sandy plaster surfaces
• Pale cream and light beige base tones
• Muted terracotta / earthy brown accent bands used selectively
• Natural warm wood-tone elements at selected shading features
• Deep window frames creating strong shadow
• Simple vertical window proportions
• Limited geometric detailing around selected openings
• Contemporary screens inspired by the reference
• Strong solid-to-void composition
• Climate-responsive shaded glazing
The façade should have the same **warm, layered, shaded and tactile character** visible in the Eastern Coast reference.
WINDOWS:
Respect the existing window locations, but refine their architectural treatment using deeper frames, recessed glazing and selected projecting shading elements.
Use contemporary high-performance glass with slim warm-neutral frames.
ENTRANCE:
Keep the entrance in its exact location.
Transform it into a clear contemporary school entrance using a strong recessed portal, shaded glazing and a projecting canopy derived from the horizontal architectural elements of the reference.
MATERIALS + COLORS:
Use the reference image as the guide:
warm ivory, sandy beige, pale cream, muted earthy brown accents and restrained natural wood tones.
Avoid a monochromatic white façade.
The material palette should feel warm, coastal, natural and appropriate to Dammam and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Coast.
IMPORTANT:
The Eastern Coast identity must be visible through **massing articulation, layered surfaces, deep openings, horizontal shading, material contrast and proportions**, not through generic decorative patterns.
Keep the architecture CONTEMPORARY and suitable for a public school.
Do NOT turn the school into villas.
Do NOT copy residential balconies.
Do NOT add unnecessary floors or volumes.
Do NOT change the original massing.
Do NOT relocate the entrance.
Do NOT substantially relocate windows.
Do NOT change the camera angle or perspective.
Do NOT generate a different building.
Do NOT use Najdi or Salmani architecture.
Do NOT use excessive ornament or arches.
SIGNAGE:
Remove existing visual clutter and oversized signs. Replace with ONE clean integrated Arabic school sign using the school name visible in the original image.
Final result: **the exact same existing school and viewpoint, renovated into a contemporary educational interpretation of the Eastern Coast architecture shown in the provided reference image.**
Photorealistic, realistic buildable materials, natural Dammam daylight.
