"This recreation of a medieval wikala, designed for Suq al-Silah Street in Cairo, was divided into two projects, for Plot 45 and Plot 66. The larger of the two (Plot 45) uses the same configuration as the wikalas of the past, with a single massive doorway to give access into a long central court. The ground floor of each project is reserved for shops, and the upper levels for apartments." (designed)
