The design
One destination. Four connected strengths.
The architecture combines the privacy of a retreat with the public life of a hotel and events destination.
An active waterfront
Dining, terraces, pool and wellness extend the guest experience beyond the room.
An annex with its own identity
A distinct entrance and large halls allow event and recreation uses to operate with greater independence from the hotel.
A coordinated coastal palette
Warm stone, bronze-toned solid aluminium and layered shading connect the exterior to the interior.
Design intent interpreted from the supplied plans, exterior collection and Design Review Checklist. Five-star classification is the project target; approval is not represented as granted.
The design
The bay is the organising idea.
A clear relationship between the urban approach, the landscaped arrival and the Red Sea frontage.
Arrival on the land side.
Experience toward the water.
Experience toward the water.
The massing opens a sequence from the arrival courts through the hotel to sea-facing dining, balconies and terraces. The annex holds its own arrival address while the bridge expresses a connected destination.
The bay offers foreground activity; the wider sea horizon gives distance and sunset identity. These are distinct view qualities to record from each key.

The design
The site model connects land, bay and horizon.
Context evidence supplied by the design team, shown alongside the presentation visualisations.
Waterfront relationship
The bay defines the principal landscape and guest-experience edge. The building form responds through several frontage orientations.
Urban approach
Read arrivals, annex access and parking against the surrounding streets and public realm.
Common geographic basis
Use the confirmed survey and true north for views, sun, wind and all future contextual renders.
Sources: Design Review Checklist embedded image 01 and RCJY checklist embedded image 08. This is supplied model imagery, not an independently verified land survey.
The design
A repeated fold with a clear purpose.
The Z-shaped building establishes the view opportunities; the sawtooth bay refines the orientation of each room.
Turn the window toward the view
The angled face can direct a room’s primary view obliquely toward the bay, where a straight elevation would look more squarely inland or toward a neighbouring wing.
Use the return for privacy and shade
The return wall and side screen can interrupt direct balcony-to-balcony sightlines. Their height, angle and perforation need checking from both seated and standing eye levels.
Repeat a buildable family
Rationalise the folds, glazing modules, corner details and screen fixings. The value is stronger views and identity with a controlled number of components.

The design
A view strategy that supports the room offer.
A clear hierarchy of experiences, supported by a room-by-room view schedule in the next design stage.
Design-team view allocation
50% full bay + sea30% partial sea20% horizon
The checklist describes 50% of rooms with full bay and sea views, 30% with approximately 75% sea exposure, and 20% with approximately 50% horizon exposure.
These are design-team allocations, not independently verified visibility measurements. They are not converted into key counts until the room schedule is reconciled.
Validation that protects the value
For each key, record the bed, seating and balcony views; the floor level; adjacent privacy; potential future obstructions; and glare at the intended use time.
Source: Design Review Checklist F7. Visual: Exterior 11. No room revenue or price premium has been calculated.
The design
Two arrivals, one coherent destination.
Separate guest, event and service movements while maintaining an understandable relationship between the buildings.
Hotel guests
Arrival court, concierge, reception and guest lifts create a legible route to the guestrooms.
Events and recreation
The annex lobby provides a separate address. Event visitors can enter without using the main hotel reception sequence.
Service and operations
Basement kitchens, laundry, ramps and service lifts provide the operating backbone. Confirm loading, waste and event set-up routes on a coordinated circulation overlay.

Guest experience
The view continues inside.
A five-star experience depends on the complete room, from arrival and storage to privacy, sleep quality and outlook.
A consistent interior language
Warm timber, sand-toned stone, bronze accents and restrained teal connect the guestrooms to the public spaces.
Comfort at the window
Coordinate side screens, solar-control glazing, blackout curtains and furniture so the view is comfortable at the time guests use it.
Validate the repeated module
Check furniture clearances, accessible routes, luggage, bathrooms, acoustics and air distribution in a coordinated prototype before repetition.
Sources: Coordinated Interiors V2, King Bedroom 01 and Suite Living Room 01. Image-based concept views; exact geometry and specification require coordination with the Revit model.
Guest experience
A connected offer for meetings and celebrations.
A hierarchy of spaces serves intimate meetings, hotel banquets and larger activities in the annex.
Hotel banquet halls
The ground plan tags Hall 1 at 736 m² and Hall 2 at 637 m². Prefunction, buffet/breakout and preparation areas support the event sequence.
First-floor meeting suite
Seven multipurpose-room tags, smaller meetings, a conference room, breakouts and a prayer room offer several event scales.
Annex event potential
Large annex volumes extend the offer. Coordinate conversion layouts, acoustic separation, AV, rigging, storage and service access for every proposed use.
Sources: A-02 and A-04 room tags; Banquet Hall and Boardroom concept views. Tagged net areas are not seating capacities. Occupancies and exits require approved event configurations.
Guest experience
Wellness and outdoor life form one sequence.
The hotel’s leisure value comes from the relationship between indoor wellness and the landscaped coast-facing spaces.
Mezzanine wellness
The Revit plan includes men’s and women’s gyms, spas, massage rooms, saunas, steam rooms and Moroccan baths.
Comfort at the edge
Provide shaded resting areas and tested wind shelter. Keep the central outlook open while treating exposed returns and corners.
Operational separation
Coordinate wet and dry routes, privacy, changing facilities, drainage, pool servicing and staff access with the operator.
Sources: A-03 / A-102; Spa Reception 01; Exterior 09. Pool and outdoor images are concept visualisations.
Guest experience
A roof destination with an environmental response.
The environmental study identifies the exposed roof as the priority for further design testing.
504 m²tagged indoor roof restaurant
577 m²tagged business lounge
69 m²tagged restaurant preparation
The roof combines hospitality uses with a strong coastal outlook. Its viability depends on a comfortable outdoor edge, service access and space for the building systems.
Design the shade and wind screen together
Place long-stay seating behind a tested screen line and provide overhead shade with supplementary protection from low western sun.
Coordinate the whole roof
Reserve plant, maintenance, drainage, PV, access and fire routes before the restaurant and terrace boundaries are fixed.
Source: A-10 / internal A-109 room tags and supplied Forma report. Screen dimensions, wind performance and PV capacity are not final designs.
Climate response
Keep the sheltered podium. Improve the exposed roof.
Use wind analysis to place activities and refine the building’s outdoor rooms.
What the supplied study reports
Seventeen wind cases examine the whole rose and individual directions at 1.75 m above selected surfaces. The reported ground-level aggregate contains no “uncomfortable” area, but a substantial share is suited to walking rather than sitting.
Design response: locate longer-stay seating in sheltered zones; test the roof edges, corners, entrances and terrace openings individually. A site-wide percentage does not establish dining comfort at every point.
Retain the qualitative sheltered-versus-exposed finding. Re-run the model at the confirmed site coordinates, with the current geometry and stated weather input, before fixing screen geometry.
| Reported case | Scale | Sit / stand | Stroll / walk | Uncomfortable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whole rose, aerial | NEN 8100 | 22% | 77% | 0% |
| Whole rose, plan | NEN 8100 | 21% | 79% | 0% |
| NW 315° | NEN 8100 | 22% | 77% | 0% |
| Whole rose, site | Lawson LDDC | 6% | 93% | 0% |
| Whole rose, oblique | Lawson LDDC | 5% | 95% | 0% |
Source: Environmental Analysis, 19 September 2026, Study 03. Percentages are rounded source values and may not sum to 100%. Method reference: Autodesk Forma wind analysis. This presentation does not certify outdoor comfort.
Climate response
Moderate the wind while keeping the view open.
The architectural aim is a comfortable occupied zone with a usable sea outlook.
Roof venue
Test porous or operable screens along exposed edges. Set dining inboard of the parapet, and compare several screen options in the model.
Pool and dining terraces
Use planted shelter at exposed returns and upwind ends. Assess the sitting zone rather than relying on a general walking-comfort result.
Structure and maintenance
Screens, planters and shade structures all require wind-load design, secure fixings and maintainable coastal finishes. Planting on slabs is part of the structural coordination.
The source proposes 40–50% screen porosity and heights of 1.8–2.1 m. Treat these as options to test, not approved dimensions or guaranteed comfort improvements.
Sources: supplied Forma figures and recommendations; Exterior 14. Additional technical checks are design recommendations, not completed engineering results.
Climate response
Shade the occupied areas. Reserve the solar opportunity.
The same solar exposure that creates shading demand also creates an opportunity for integrated generation.
10,409 m²source solar-selection surface, 0–75°
20.9 GWh/yrsource incident solar energy
1.52 GWh/yrsource indicative PV yield
A design input, not an energy guarantee
The report quotes approximately 6,246 m² of panels at 60% coverage and 15% efficiency. The selected surface includes model geometry; it is not a confirmed installable roof array.
Next coordinated step
Reconcile the analysis location, usable roof and canopy areas, plant clearances, structure, maintenance, shading, module data and system losses. Confirm a new annual yield before investment decisions.
Source values: Environmental Analysis, Study 04. Incident energy and electrical yield are different quantities. The source’s higher-efficiency scaling is an arithmetic scenario, not an independently simulated or bankable yield.
Climate response
Read the shadow through the day and the seasons.
The supplied frames show how the massing redistributes shade; afternoon use areas need deliberate landscape and facade protection.
Source: Environmental Analysis, Study 02. Times and dates reproduced as labelled in that report. Model coordinates and clock settings require alignment with the confirmed site before detailed shade sizing.
Climate response
Protect the outlook from heat and glare.
The facade should vary where orientation and exposure vary, while maintaining one architectural language.
High sun: horizontal shade
Balconies, canopies and roof pergolas can intercept higher-angle sun. Size them for the actual facade azimuth and occupation hours.
Low western sun: side protection
Use the sawtooth returns, vertical fins and adjustable or perforated screens to address low-angle exposure while preserving selected view corridors.
Room comfort: a complete system
Coordinate glazing, opening area, curtains and internal blinds with energy, daylight and glare models. Compare wing-specific facade options using the same room and HVAC assumptions.
A view is not evidence of daylight or thermal compliance. No annual room-level glare results, final glazing values, cooling-load comparison or verified U-values were supplied.

Landscape
A coastal landscape carried above the basement.
A low, coastal planting character reinforces the architecture while framing water, shade and movement.
Keep the waterfront legible
Use lower planting in primary view corridors and locate taller elements to frame arrivals, edges and sheltered seating.
Treat the roof of the basement as a system
Coordinate saturated planting loads, root anchorage, soil volumes, waterproofing, root barriers, drainage, overflow and inspection access.
Design for salt and water use
Group plants by irrigation demand and exposure. Test irrigation-water and soil salinity; provide drainage and a maintenance plan.

Materials
Solid aluminium gives the bronze language precision.
A shared material and pattern vocabulary connects the facade with the public interiors.
Exterior cladding and screens
Use solid aluminium panels for the selected metal-clad zones, soffits and laser-cut decorative screens. Coordinate panel thickness, stiffeners, joints and replaceable fixings with the facade engineer.
Interior continuity
Repeat the bronze tone and selected pattern in lobby screens, feature panels and ceiling accents. If a perforated panel is intended to absorb sound, coordinate the tested acoustic backing and cavity.
Coastal finish
Specify verified pretreatment, finish class, fabrication quality and a coastal warranty. Laser-cut and deburr before finishing; protect cut edges and isolate incompatible metals.
The supplied boards identify Riyadh limestone, insulated double walls, aluminium screens, low-E glazing, laminated balustrades, marine stainless steel, paving, porcelain and GRC. Solid aluminium cladding is the current client direction for selected metal zones; its exact elevation extent must be mapped.
Sources: material boards and client brief. Finish reference: QUALICOAT Seaside. A coating class or solid metal face alone does not establish full facade fire compliance or LEED certification.
Materials

Thermal continuity
Carry insulation past columns and slab edges. Check balcony connections, metal brackets, window perimeters and roof junctions as thermal bridges.
Moisture and durability
Provide drained and inspectable interfaces. Select the air/vapour-control strategy from a project-specific condensation assessment for air-conditioned coastal conditions.
Fire, sound and maintenance
Engineer ties, supports, cavity fire barriers and movement joints. Verify acoustic and fire performance of the complete assembly and provide access to replace facade components.
Concept sequence derived from Board M02; not a construction detail and not to scale. Final leaf spacing, layer order, insulation thickness and fixings require facade, structural, fire and MEP coordination. No calculated wall U-value is claimed.

Materials
Turn sustainability intent into documented performance.
The presentation connects the design intent with the evidence needed to substantiate it.
| Strategy | Evidence to carry into procurement | Decision basis |
|---|---|---|
| Solid aluminium | Verified recycled content; product EPD where available; finish and sourcing records. | Match the selected LEED version and credit criteria. |
| Stone, porcelain and other finishes | Product-specific environmental information and durable, repairable installation. | Do not infer environmental performance from material name alone. |
| Paints, adhesives, sealants and interiors | VOC content/emissions evidence where required; ingredient disclosures where applicable. | Review wet-applied products and composite assemblies individually. |
| Envelope, roof and glazing | Energy model, assemblies, glazing properties, thermal bridges and commissioning. | Savings need a model and baseline; no percentage is claimed here. |
| Landscape and water | Planting/irrigation schedule, water demand and water-quality data. | Native or regional planting does not by itself prove water savings. |
| PV and operation | Coordinated array, annual yield model, metering and maintenance plan. | Source Forma estimate is preliminary. |
LEED compliance intent
The project brief calls for LEED-compliant material selection. Use a materials register linking every specified product to the relevant evidence and the project’s selected LEED rating system.
A durable coastal asset
Prioritise replaceable panels, maintainable coatings, accessible drainage and robust interfaces. Whole-life value depends on preserving performance under salt, humidity and UV exposure.
LEED certifies projects, not individual products. The supplied files do not establish a registered LEED version, awarded credits or certification level. Present this as a LEED-supporting specification strategy until those records are confirmed.
Reference: USGBC — product contribution to LEED. Recommendations are a documentation pathway, not an assessment of credit achievement.

Submission & evidence
A staged route from concept to a coordinated hotel.
A clear decision sequence lets the client and reviewing authorities understand what is resolved and what comes next.
Resolve the common basis
Agree site coordinates, true north, floor areas, 305-module schedule, suite groupings, operator brief and annex uses.
Indicative coordination allowance: 4–6 weeks.
Develop and review
Complete the architectural/MEP/fire interfaces, rooms, facade options, wind mitigation and authority review package.
Indicative design/tender allowance: 12–16 weeks; authority review duration to be agreed.
Procure and prototype
Confirm product evidence, facade and guestroom mock-ups, long-lead items, contractor method and coastal maintenance requirements.
Indicative procurement allowance: 10–16 weeks; some work may overlap design.
Build, test and commission
Execute the agreed package, test the systems, train operations and complete the required licensing/classification processes.
Initial discussion allowance: 18–24 months; contractor to establish the programme.
These durations are proposed planning allowances, not an approved programme or completion commitment. Validate against scope, approvals, procurement, contractor resources and the operator’s opening requirements.
Client decision
Endorse the view-led massing, the 305-module planning capacity, the hotel/annex relationship and the coordinated material direction.
Technical close-out
Agree one reconciled area and key schedule, then close the environmental, life-safety, accessibility and building-system evidence.
Submission package
Issue controlled drawings and schedules with a revision register and signed discipline responsibilities.
Proposed for discussion in response to RCJY checklist item 27. Ministry of Tourism classification reference: published hotel classification checklist; confirm the criteria applicable at submission. No classification decision is implied.

| Topic | Source difference | Presentation treatment / next action |
|---|---|---|
| Room capacity | Client confirms 61 modules × 5 guest floors = 305 modules. | Use 305 modules throughout; map the suite groupings to real room/key IDs. |
| Sellable keys | Matrix row quantities total 228 keys; printed subtotals total 220. | Treat 228 as the provisional grouping calculation. The environmental report’s 258-key / 300-room header is an older conflicting reference. |
| Main first-floor area | Supplied tabulation: 3,402.7515 m²; BOQ: 3,188.64 m². | Use supplied tabulation for the presentation total; confirm an issued gross-area plan. |
| Main roof-floor area | Supplied tabulation: 1,700 m²; BOQ: 1,719 m². | Confirm enclosed floor, open terrace and measurement exclusions. |
| Annex roof-floor area | Tabulation/BOQ: 1,510 m²; A-10 annotation: 1,557 m². | Reconcile staff/support area extents and level naming. |
| Combined BUA | This report: 50,456.23 m²; older BOQ cached total: 50,261.11 m². | Difference ≈195.12 m². Do not mix alternate floor inputs. |
| Site coordinates | Checklist: 24.016444° N, 38.161278° E; environmental report: 24.0895° N, 38.0618° E. | Resolve location difference before a new Forma issue or detailed solar sizing. |
| Height / datum | A-13 gives roof deck 32 m and apex 36 m above its ground level; environmental text mentions 34 m. | Reconcile architectural and structural datums and the height used for each analysis. |
| Parking and room tags | Older BOQ records conflicting parking counts; Revit schedules include unplaced/redundant room entries. | Issue cleaned schedules from the coordinated model. Do not use room-object counts as sellable keys. |
