Conceptual master plan and preliminary design to preserve sea views and integrate the built environment with the coastline.

The context

In Marsa Alam, on the Red Sea, a tourist complex takes shape on the waterfront. The challenge: accommodate a large program without blocking the sea view or cutting the site off from the shore.

Our work

Scaliance Studio designed the conceptual master plan and preliminary design. The buildings stay low and are organized around a central promenade that descends to the beach. View corridors to the sea guide the siting, and the outdoor spaces connect each building to the shoreline.

The landscape

Palm trees, cacti and arid-climate plants form a climate-adapted landscape that needs little water and links the desert to the sea.
