In today’s world, architecture and interior design are no longer static. They are dynamic, evolving, and responsive to the way people live, work, and interact. Kinetic architecture and interior design represent the next frontier — where buildings and interiors are not fixed but alive, shifting, and adapting to their environment and their users.
At Cedrus International (CI), we proudly pioneer this innovation in Saudi Arabia and beyond, merging mechanical precision, digital intelligence, and creative design into one seamless experience. By integrating kinetic systems into our design and build process, we transform ordinary structures into immersive environments that inspire awe, encourage interaction, and enhance both function and beauty.
What is Kinetic Architecture & Interior Design?
Kinetic design goes beyond traditional aesthetics. It is movement built into architecture — façades that shift with the sun, walls that respond to sound, installations that rotate or unfold, and interiors that evolve throughout the day.
Globally, kinetic systems create spectacular visual effects — illusions of spheres rotating, forms unfolding, or entire surfaces flowing like living skin. Locally, each element moves with precision, following its own path to create an ever-changing environment. CI brings this magic into office interior design, fit-out contracting, furniture design, and large-scale architectural projects, in partnership with our world-class European associates.
The result is a harmonious blend of art, science, and functionality — spaces that are no longer passive, but active participants in the human experience.
Applications of Kinetic Design by CI
Kinetic architecture is not limited to aesthetic marvels — it has practical, sustainable, and interactive benefits. CI integrates kinetic solutions into architecture, office fit-outs, and large-scale public projects to elevate both functionality and brand presence.
1. Aesthetic Expression
Kinetic façades become works of art. Responsive surfaces, powered by wind or human interaction, create installations that feel alive. Whether on a corporate headquarters or in an immersive lobby interior, these systems engage the senses and create unforgettable experiences.
2. Kinetic BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics)
By applying rotation and sliding mechanisms, solar panels dynamically adjust to capture maximum sunlight. This system blends energy efficiency with design innovation, turning buildings into power-generating artworks.
3. MegaFaces & Interactive Installations
Stretchable façades can transform in real time, simulating human faces or responding to visitors through 3D scanning systems. For events, exhibitions, or corporate environments, this creates powerful brand engagement and immersive storytelling.
4. Adaptive Solar Skins
Kinetic double-skin façades with rotating solar panels track the sun, optimizing energy usage while providing shading. These adaptive systems deliver sustainability, comfort, and reduced operating costs, proving that kinetic design is both beautiful and functional.
Kinetic Design in Interiors – The Future of Workspaces
While façades attract attention, kinetic design inside the workplace is equally revolutionary. CI integrates kinetic elements into office interior design and furniture solutions, offering:
- Dynamic office partitions that move and reshape layouts in seconds.
- Kinetic lighting systems that adjust automatically to user needs.
- Transformative furniture that adapts to different work modes.
- Interactive installations in lobbies, lounges, or meeting areas that elevate brand presence.
These innovations support flexible work environments, employee engagement, and sustainable practices — perfectly aligned with the future of corporate offices in Riyadh and across the region.
