This resort hotel brings five-star comfort to Kuwait City. Located on a historic site well known to the local community, the hotel is conceived as a mosaic of buildings and gardens. Space meanders between interior and exterior, with an arrival court leading to a lobby, restaurant, and wedding hall. The sun is especially important in Middle Eastern cultures: Throughout the hotel design, digitally created screens and perforated walls filter the sunlight. In the subterranean spa, vertical shafts of light animate the space and walls are subtly luminous.
