S/L Architects has earned global recognition as the recipient of the Best Luxury Public Services Renovation Architecture award for their exceptional work on The Refurbishment of Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This prestigious honor, presented by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, celebrates the firm’s commitment to redefining architectural standards while preserving cultural heritage. 

The award-winning project highlights S/L Architects’ ability to seamlessly combine contemporary design with tradition. Located in Riffa, Bahrain, the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club, established in 1977 under royal patronage, serves as a cornerstone of Bahrain’s rich equestrian heritage. The renovation marks a transformative step forward, enhancing the club’s infrastructure with luxurious viewing areas, state-of-the-art stabling facilities, and VVIP lounges. These additions aim to elevate the experience for both competitors and spectators while honoring the club’s storied past. 

Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, lauded the achievement: “This project exemplifies how modern design can elevate cultural landmarks to new heights. S/L Architects has demonstrated not only architectural excellence but also a deep respect for Bahrain’s traditions and values. Their work inspires architects and developers worldwide.” 

Key features of the refurbishment include the grandstand’s dramatic silhouette, enhanced by warm, ambient lighting that transforms the structure into a glowing beacon against the desert twilight. This architectural centerpiece is both visually stunning and highly functional, creating an inviting atmosphere that captures the essence of Bahraini equestrian culture. Additional upgrades, such as corporate boxes and paddock clubs, solidify the club’s status as a world-class venue. 

The project also reflects the innovative spirit of S/L Architects, who provided comprehensive architectural, interior design, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) services. Their approach harmonizes aesthetics and functionality, ensuring the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club remains a symbol of Bahraini pride for generations to come. 

The recognition by Luxury Lifestyle Awards further cements S/L Architects’ position as a leader in luxury architectural innovation. Their portfolio, spanning residential, commercial, and public spaces, showcases a dedication to quality and creativity that resonates globally. 

As the renovation progresses toward completion, it continues to draw admiration for its thoughtful design and impactful execution.
