Our design approach for the Ummahat AlShaykh island project, situated in the Red Sea, was deeply rooted in the site’s unique characteristics, fostering a philosophy of seamless integration with the surrounding landscape. Despite the challenges presented by the delicate environment, our site-specific approach guided us in crafting low, horizontally oriented Land Villas with gently curved roofs mirroring the natural sand dunes. This design not only ensures guest privacy but also harmonizes with the island’s topography, minimizing sand infill and preserving its natural shape.

Starting from the essence of the brand, we focused on the question of how consumers could fully experience “reworks120” during their extended stays, concentrating on the unique experiences that only offline road shops can provide.
