Ummahat Island with Kengo Kuma (KKAA)

Eco Island Resort, Redsea

Our design approach for the Ummahat AlShaykh island project, was deeply rooted in the site’s unique characteristics, fostering a philosophy of seamless integration with the surrounding landscape. The arrangement of buildings on the land follows the natural profile and geometry of the shoreline, incorporating curved organic building shapes to blend harmoniously with the dune landscape of the island. Inspired by the rich coral life within the oceans, our design for the offshore sea villas features a spiral volume emerging gracefully from the sea, offering unobstructed views of the ocean landscape. The design ethos embodies a holistic approach to architecture, seamlessly merging with the environment while prioritizing sustainability and durability.
