Overview
Design of an investment resort in Makkah covering 800 square metres, divided at the owner's request into two sections. A desert character guided the choice of materials and plants, and level changes were created to strengthen the feeling of nature, with views that increase the sense of spaciousness between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Seating
Several seating areas were provided, including sunken seating and raised seating overlooking the pool, as well as a multi-purpose seating area that can be used for events.
Views and planting design
Views across the whole site were studied closely; for example, the eye of someone in the bedroom overlooking the pool travels unobstructed to the wall at the far eastern edge. Planting was also designed: plants were chosen for their fragrance, overall mass and branching habit, with low water consumption in mind. Privacy of the spaces, framing of views and visual endpoints built around a single unifying plant element were all considered.
Lighting
The lighting design follows the overall theme of the site, emphasising the design elements and presenting them beautifully at night.
