__ SRLA, hired by the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund (PIF), designed a cutting-edge organic farm and luxury hotel on the Red Sea, blending sustainable hospitality with advanced horticultural practices.
The brief for this project was to push the boundaries of imagination and technology to develop a world-class destination. SRLA designed an organic farm experience where guests embark on a journey to rediscover the wonders of the relationship between man and plants through the prism of luxury, gastronomy, beauty, relaxation, and the culinary arts. The design integrates ancient Islamic garden principles with modern high-end hospitality comforts, showcasing the value of blending the ancient with the contemporary to create something truly unique. Sustainability was a driving consideration, leading to the development of innovative approaches to address water and irrigation challenges in the arid landscape.
__ The walled garden design, rooted in sacred Islamic geometry, exudes tradition and timelessness. This classic structure is complemented by cutting-edge features, including biodomes harboring exotic plants for medical and wellness research, an apiary, fruit and orchard terraces, mushroom farms, water gardens, pavilions, and olive groves – all contributing to a sustainable, integrated functional farm, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.
