Concept

The Sports Zone is accessed through a second gateway, leading to a two-story, 290-square-meter gym and locker building. Above this structure is a 23-meter-wide bridge connecting its rooftop to the Central Kitchen roof, which is utilized for padel courts. This zone also includes a depressed five-a-side football pitch and a multisport court, separated by a gentle ramp leading to the social zone. The Social Zone includes the main social building, a two-story, 1,800-square-meter courtyard structure with a spacious open area facing the northern façade. Designed to face true north, the building maximizes natural ventilation and indirect sunlight while minimizing heat gain. Its western façade features protective architectural elements that shield the interior from the intense afternoon sun, ensuring optimal thermal comfort. All the buildings are clad in vertical strips of locally sourced Egyptian Hashma stone. This design choice reduces heat absorption by creating self-shading surfaces, enhancing the buildings' energy efficiency and aesthetics.
