- Production Technology
- The design was produced after a back and forth open discussions with the client to get a full understanding of their requirements. We started by introducing three different directions which gave us the opportunity to brainstorm with the client unlocking the full potential of our concept design. We used AutoCad, Sketchup, 3Dmax, Photoshop and InDesign to illustrate and present our design.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge while designing this project was the level difference within the site and how to make use of that 20m difference creating an interesting integrated outdoor space. The other challenge was to come Up with an innovative downtown fabric and creating different vibe for each cluster connecting them all with the main spine harmoniously.
Another challenge is to keep this large open space walkable and safe for pedestrians without vehicles interference. - Research
- Our research was based on the site studies and analysis in terms of contour lines, level difference, climate impact, the surrounding and the accessibility to the site whether for vehicles or the pedestrians access. In addition to the sea view studies. Our research was also focusing how to incorporate the wellness principles within the design as we believe that the urban fabric and architecture has a high impact on the well-being of the end-user.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the unique shape of the land, the level difference within the land and the wellness concept. We are very keen to implement wellness principles within our design as we believe the urban and architecture fabric has a huge impact on the mood and well-being of the user.
The shape of the land effortlessly imposed the concept of the spiral spine connecting all the clusters and amenities with the main node and the sky piazza created as an outdoor amphitheater welcoming musical festivals. - Project Duration
- The design process started in September 2023 and the project is under construction, located in the heart of Makadi Heights, merely 20 minutes from Hurghada by the Red Sea in Egypt. Makadi Height stands as a central hub, situated at the peak of Makadi Bay, at an advantageous location, positioned 78meter above sea level.
