The wide, flat-roofed warehouse in Ad Diriyah features exterior walls made of rammed earth, finished with a thick, textured coat of traditional clay plaster. It sits along the edge of the Wadi Hanifa, built to store local harvest and equipment during the expansion of the historic district. In the nineteen eighties, masons reconstructed these walls using techniques passed down through generations, ensuring the building mirrors the surrounding mud-brick architecture. It remains a storage space for the craftspeople maintaining the nearby ruins.
