Oryx cabans

Beach Luxury Club

Location: Saudi Arabia, Al Rayes

Type: Hospitality

Project developed for Sculptivate and Sela.

We have been asked to come up with a design concept for beachfront cabanas within a large hospitality complex in the Middle East. The initial brief had come to us with a clear source of inspiration for the project and the main building material selected; the architecture should be animated like ocean waves and work with timber to deliver a dynamic, yet construction-friendly outcome.

We have proposed an asymmetrical roof, pitched along the diagonal and raised on two out of four anchor points to create an ever-changing image of the cabana from every different standpoint. Due to the local weather conditions there is a very clear line between exterior and interior space, with the possibility to have the latter air-conditioned.
