Accountable house


One global house, deeply at home in the Kingdom.

Saudi Arabia is shaping the most ambitious places of our time. Vision 2030 turns bold ideas into real cities, districts and destinations, and new landmarks rise from the desert at a pace the world has never seen. Cedrus International® House of Ci stands inside that story, not beside it. Our Riyadh team carries the same standard as New York, Paris and Milan — global craft, arriving with local understanding, in Arabic and in English.

The land before the landmark

A heritage measured in centuries, not seasons.

Before the towers, there was the oasis. Mud-brick walls that kept the noon at bay, courtyards that gathered families and travellers, carved doors that told a family’s story to the street. From the tombs of Hegra — the Kingdom’s first World Heritage site — to the citadel of Diriyah and the ramparts of Masmak, this is a country that has always known how to build meaning into matter. The house reads that heritage the way an architect reads light: as instruction.

The road to Expo 2030 Riyadh

The world said yes to Riyadh.

In November 2023, the member states of the Bureau International des Expositions chose Riyadh to host World Expo 2030. The theme is a promise in itself — The Era of Change: Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow. From 1 October 2030 to 31 March 2031, on a vast site by King Salman International Airport, the Kingdom will welcome the planet to the largest gathering it has ever hosted.

For most companies, that is a date on the horizon. For the house, it is a working brief already. Pavilions and national moments. Media façades that speak at city scale. Visitor journeys, wayfinding, exhibitions, ceremonies, broadcast stages, healthcare posts, executive workplaces and the thousand quiet rooms that make a great event feel effortless. Every one of them lives inside our nineteen solutions.

So when the gates open, House of Ci intends to be what it has always been for its clients — designer, engineer, builder and storyteller, in the same room, on the Kingdom’s side of the table.
