NEOM Oxagon Village — Public Safety Stations

Location
NEOM, Saudi Arabia
Role
Design lead, Stages 3B–3D
Year

Two emergency facilities that had to share a building

Full design through Stages 3B to 3D of two public safety stations at NEOM Oxagon Village — 3,563 m² and 3,297 m² — each integrating fire and police services in a single facility.

Cape Town International Airport — Terminal 2

Location
Cape Town, South Africa
Role
Engineering-architectural design manager

Engineering-architectural design manager on Cape Town International Airport’s new Terminal 2 — 25,000 m² of demolition, alteration and new-build across landside and airside, at USD 197m (R2.9bn).

Location
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Role
Schematic design oversight
Year

Project details are classified. What can be described is the method — because at this scale the method is the design.

Kuwait Children’s Hospital

Role
Design and medical planning
Year

The largest specialist paediatric hospital in the world

A 792-bed, 683,000 m² paediatric hospital in Kuwait City, delivered at a capital value of USD 1.6bn — the largest specialist paediatric facility ever built.

Peet worked on the project across its 2015–2018 design period alongside the neighbouring Kuwait Maternity Hospital, a 789-bed, 440,000 m² facility that holds the equivalent record for maternity projects. Together the two schemes represent close to USD 2.4bn of specialist healthcare.
