Project Overview
Prime Location: Situated in Hurghada, Egypt, a renowned Red Sea coastal city celebrated for its vibrant tourism and marine life.
Accessibility: Strategically positioned to offer guests easy access to beaches, shopping areas, and local attractions.
Design Philosophy:
The Greek wing perfectly captures the balanced essence of the Greek culture between the serenity and slow-paced living and the passion that exists in the simplest pleasures of life. This living philosophy was presented in GNA through the blue and white color palette used in the rooms to symbolize the ocean, the sky, and the harmonious meeting of the both, to give off the dynamic yet stable sentiment. The minimalistic approach was carefully selected to emphasize on the design notion that “less is more” and that luxury can be achieved through the most basic elements when properly delegated and assigned.
Design Features:
White-Washed Furniture and Space: In the room most elements are selected to be in pure white colour to help reflect the intense heat and keep the room as cool as possible
Decorative Tiles: Ceramic tiles with Greek patterns are used in the entrance which is used to add decorative accent to the room.
Wooden Furniture: The chairs, tables, and dressers are mostly made using wood due to the material’s sturdy nature and its rustic feel.
Integration with Nature: The room features an impeccable view of the outdoors to integrate the surrounding environment to the room.
Colour Palette: To provoke a soothing sensation, blue and white were selected to limit visual distractions and promote a more calming environment.
