Heritage documentation studio · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Nothing is preserved until it is recorded.
H-Pixels documents heritage sites, buildings and collections across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Laser scanning, photogrammetry, GIS, virtual tours and serious games — all built on a measured record you own outright.
What we do
Services
Sixteen services across the whole chain — from the first control point on site to the finished model, tour or exhibition. Most clients start with one and move along it.
Land & Topographic Survey
Boundary, topographic and control surveys across sites of any size, delivered as dimensioned drawings and coordinate data your engineers can build from.
View service3D Laser Scanning
Terrestrial laser scanning of buildings, interiors, caves and whole sites, registered to a control network and delivered with a written accuracy statement.
View serviceAerial Survey & Drone Data
Drone photography and LiDAR flown to a planned ground sample distance, then processed into orthophotos, terrain models and point clouds.
View serviceAs-Built & Inspection Survey
A verified record of what was actually built, with deviation checks against the design and condition reporting on existing fabric.
View service2D Documentation
Measured plans, elevations, sections and details drawn from survey data — the drawing set a conservation architect or a municipality actually needs.
View service3D Documentation
Point clouds, meshes and textured models of objects, buildings and landscapes, produced to a level of detail matched to what the record is for.
View serviceIntangible Heritage & Archive Restoration
Fieldwork on living practice — performance, craft, foodways and oral tradition — recorded, transcribed and written into inventory files. We also rescue and restore old collections: photographic prints and negatives, film, magnetic tape and analogue audio, digitised, repaired and catalogued for families and institutions alike.
View serviceConsultation
Scoping, accuracy specification, technical review and second opinions — useful before you commission documentation, and before you accept it.
View serviceGIS Solutions
Geodatabases, asset registers, thematic and risk mapping, and web portals that hold a site or district record together over time.
View serviceMapping Services
Cartography and digital map production at any scale, delivered as CAD, GIS layers or print-ready output.
View service3D Modelling & Visualisation
Presentation models, renders and animations built from the measured record rather than redrawn by eye.
View serviceVR Heritage Tours
Walkable virtual tours of heritage sites built on the survey model, so distances, positions and sightlines are true rather than approximated.
View service360° Virtual Tours
Interactive tours for hotels, resorts, apartments and rental units, real estate, schools, hospitals and tourist sites, with floor plans, live availability and enquiry routing built in.
View serviceSerious Games
Playable interpretation of heritage sites for schools, visitor centres and outreach, built from the same survey data as the record.
View serviceHeritage-Inspired Products & Design
Objects, surfaces and identity work developed from documented ornament and craft, with the source recorded so every motif can be traced back to the wall it came from.
View serviceWorkshops & Training
Hands-on training for institutional teams in scanning, photogrammetry, HBIM and virtual tour production, run on your own sites and equipment.

About
A documentation studio, not a scanning vendor.
H-Pixels is a heritage documentation studio, founded in Riyadh in 2026.
We bring together specialists in survey, heritage conservation and digital media — people who scan a building, read what the scan is telling them, and build what comes next from the record rather than around it.
The work is grounded in academic practice. Our team teaches and researches in digital heritage, and that shapes how we document: to a stated accuracy, in open formats, with the raw capture handed over alongside the finished deliverable. You own everything we record for you.
We work across the Kingdom and the wider Gulf, on anything from a single carved doorway to a walled village.
