The Shift

Destination | Connection | Stop

Imagine standing between sky and earth — that’s where “The Shift” takes form.

An experiential center suspended 30m above ground at the gateway of Wadi Tayyib Ism in NEOM. It captures the sound of the miraculous cliff split and translates it into form.

Overlooking where the valley meets the sea and mountains, the project serves as a destination, stop, and connection within NEOM’s ecotourism vision. It acts as a hub linking visitors to Leyja and Trojena through Saudi’s longest multi-layered sustainable trail, stretching 73 km.
