Qatar short vlog Grove Island, Qatar - A Crystal Walking Experience Imagine a luxurious, futuristic resort island located just off the coast of Qatar. This could be a newly developed paradise designed to blend cutting-edge architecture with the natural beauty of the region. Grove Island: A lush, artificial island featuring a mix of green spaces and high-tech structures. It could be surrounded by crystal-clear waters, with a network of canals and walkways connecting various parts of the island. The environment might feature palm groves, tropical plants, and innovative green technologies to make the island a model for sustainability in the future. Crystal Walking: This could refer to an extraordinary walkway or path made entirely from transparent or semi-transparent crystalline materials—possibly something like glass, quartz, or other precious stones. These crystal walkways might provide breathtaking views of the island's waters below or above. As you walk along, the light could refract off the crystals, creating a dazzling display. The "crystal walking" could also symbolize a special experience—perhaps a wellness or meditative journey along these pathways, enhancing the feeling of connection to nature, luxury, and tranquility.

The latest travel trends for 2025 from booking.com (https://lnkd.in/dU86-Nn2) confirm that an increasing proportion of travellers are looking for off-the beaten track, authentic, off-grid destinations. At 3,100m above sea level, directly overlooking Mount Everest, I think we can all agree that Kunda Himalayan Resort ticks those boxes and then some. In an increasingly frantic world #IsolatedUltraLuxury could appeal to those who would like to flee the madding crowds and rampant #overtourism.

In the city of Umluj, located within the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia, a desert oasis weaving throughout the dunes immerses guests into the natural environment. Pursuing the highest environmental standards of sustainability in order to preserve, protect, and enhance the regions biodiversity, world renowned architecture firm Foster + Partners created a masterpiece of hospitality in a complex climate zone. Utilizing methods that naturally cool spaces to reduce energy, the luxury resort planted locally sourced native plants of the region to help with air temperature regulation. Strategically placed canopies add further shading, cooling the interior and exterior spaces from solar gain. By using variations of shading methods throughout the resort, natural sunlight is allowed to illuminate the interior spaces while shielding them from direct sunlight. Strategically placed and sized doors and windows, allow for natural illumination as well as methods of regulating airflow throughout the interior spaces. The project puts an emphasis on the importance of designing with the natural environment in mind. It will hopefully serve as an example of responsible hospitality development.

Luxury Hotel- Central Africa The following project is an exploration into the realm of super-luxury urban hotels. The hotel is to become the first paradigm of luxury urban ‘havens’, acting as a seamless transition between privileged everyday life and the extraordinary experience of the natural wilderness. Combining various programs including the hotel, private villas, a luxury spa and restaurant. The project focuses on 3 core principles that guides our design narrative and concept; 1. The strict use of appropriate & geometric forms, with exclusive focus on the Ellipse. 2. Tapping into the local African culture & iconography- create a sense of place. 3. The recreation of the natural landscape. Establishment of the jungle & farm with ‘invisible architecture’. The architecture is not to be thought of as ‘a building’. The Hotel is a soul enriching experience beyond luxury #daffonchioarchitects #architecture #archdaily #architecturenow #sustainablearchitecture #localzadesign #architecturelovers #africanarchitecture #architectsdesign #architectsdesignprocess #sustainabletechnology #hotelarchitecture #interiordesign #recycableenergy #facades #greenbuilding #naturalventilation #waterharvesting #localafricanculture #geometricforms #jungle #farm #naturallandscape #invisiblearchitecture #superluxury #urbanhotel #wilderness
