PROJECT
DUNAS


The Dunas hotel project in Kuwait spans an area of nearly twenty thousand square meters. Its design was inspired by the textures, shapes, colors, and soft curvilinear geometries of the dunes. The hotel is supposed to be an immersive oasis where guests come to observe the desert from within. The design aligns with the topography of the site, with a circular roof folding down in a radial pattern to conform to the contours of the desert dunes and provide space for individual units. Perforations in the roof allow one to watch the sky from the inside, and stairs between units give access to the rooftop area. Apart from offering a unique view of the desert, each unit has a spa salon, a private swimming pool, and shared living spaces. In the center of the hotel, common areas create a relaxed environment for gatherings.
