Qasr Al-Hokm (Arabic: قصر الحكم) is a rapid transit station that serves the Blue and Orange lines of Riyadh Metro in the al-Qiri district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located south of the Qasr al-Hokm District.

Description

[edit]

Designed in 2012 by Snøhetta,[1] the station resembles a stainless-steel canopy resting on a large slanted wall that incorporates elements of Najdi architectural style.[2]

It covers an area of 19600 square meters and is to be one of the four iconic stations of Riyadh Metro.[3][4][5]

Qasr Al-Hokm station precedes the Al-Owd station and succeeds the Al-Bat'ha station on the Blue Line. On the Orange Line, it comes before Al-Hilla station and after the Courts Complex station.
