These extraordinary projects—a tranquil balneotherapy center, the graceful expansion of a high-altitude hotel, and a thoughtfully conceived refugee village—are profound expressions of artistic vision and architectural ingenuity. Each reflects a harmonious interplay of form and function, meticulously designed to meet the intricate and precise demands of the clients.

The balneotherapy center promises an oasis of serenity, blending natural elements with cutting-edge wellness design. The hotel expansion seeks to redefine luxury in the heights, offering a seamless connection between contemporary elegance and the rugged beauty of its mountain surroundings. Meanwhile, the refugee village aspires to be a sanctuary of hope, where thoughtful spatial arrangements and purposeful design serve to rebuild lives with dignity and care.

Despite their promise, these projects remain suspended in a state of limbo, awaiting the elusive lifeline of financial backing to transform vision into reality. For now, they stand as ideas, vibrant yet still, their stories waiting to be written. More details will be shared as these dreams edge closer to awakening.

Design in Details

In design, we bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few.

Over time, our connections to the natural world diverged in parallel with technological developments. Advances in the 19th and 20th centuries fundamentally changed how people interact with nature. Sheltered from the elements, we spent more and more time indoors. Today, the majority of people spend almost 80-90% of their time indoors, moving between their homes and workplaces. As interior designers embrace biophilia.

Incredible Result

Establishing multi-sensory experiences, we can design interiors that resonate across ages and demographics. These rooms and spaces connects us to nature as a proven way to inspire us, boost our productivity, and create greater well-being. Beyond these benefits, by reducing stress and enhancing creativity, we can also expedite healing. In our increasingly urbanized cities, biophilia advocates a more humanistic approach to design. The result is biophilic interiors that celebrate how we live, work and learn with nature.

The Ambassy of Senegal in Saudi Arabia exemplifies a harmonious blend of contextual sensitivity and programmatic complexity. Designed to adapt to both the local climate and the evolving needs of its users, it features a building initially intended to house refugees, ingeniously structured to allow its transformation into a school or hospital in the future. This dynamic approach ensures sustainable and multipurpose utility.

Another remarkable project is the extension of a historic convent, where the design balances the preservation of cultural heritage with the integration of modern, clearly defined functions. The extension is crafted to respect the convent’s architectural legacy while addressing the contemporary needs of its occupants.

Together, these projects reflect the meticulous attention to detail and the commitment to fulfilling the precise and unique demands of each client, merging functional requirements with innovative design solutions.

These visionary projects—pioneering towers for their era and a university campus—represent bold architectural ambitions that were sadly interrupted by the shifting political landscape of the country.

The university campus, majestically situated on a hill with sweeping views of the sea, was conceived as a beacon of learning, offering a harmonious integration of natural beauty and academic innovation. Its design envisioned a vibrant environment where students and educators could thrive, fostering creativity and collaboration in a setting of breathtaking inspiration.

The towers, strategically located in the bustling city center, were intended to reshape the urban skyline. Their design embodied a forward-thinking approach to modern living, combining elegance with functionality to meet the evolving demands of a contemporary metropolis.

Though these projects began to materialize, construction was ultimately suspended, leaving their stories unfinished. They stand as powerful symbols of ambition and vision, waiting for the opportunity to be revived and realized in the future.
