Seafront Hotel, Libya

Concept | Hotel | Mixed Use | Awarded | conference centre | masterplanning | residential | offices | retail | seafront | promemade

The Seafront Hotel project is located on the most prominent piece of land in Libya and spans 5 kilometres of spectacular seafront. The project includes a business hotel, cafés, restaurants, residential blocks, offices, retail and recreational areas. The master plan is inspired by a Mediterranean tree leaf and exemplifies THINK NATURE and Biophilic design.  

Each hotel room is elegantly designed, with an innovative ceiling structure, suspending Swarovski scatterings which provide a clever partitioning within the room. The hotel design has been awarded several times and it was a front-page feature in the Build Magazine in Dec 2015. 

The concept of the project is based on a simple but very efficient shape – the leaf - which maximises the surface area directly exposed to sunlight and promotes photosynthesis. We have used the exact same principle for this scheme to make the most of natural light. 

The Biophilic design introduces gardens and swimming pools in the centre of the hotel. There are three types of rooms; the city view room, the garden view room and the sea view room. This way the hotel can offer a range of rooms and prices for their guests to choose from.

The hotel features a dramatic cantilever structure extending 8 metres outwards from every floor, towards the sea. 

Research has shown that guests would be willing to pay 23% more for a room with views of Biophilic elements and features.  

The organic shapes create harmonious forms, the connections in-between the spaces are fluid and the design is elegant and tranquil. 

A big promenade is to be created adjacent to the retail and leisure areas connecting the masterplan to the city and its people. 

The combination of retail, restaurants and leisure activities creates a unique pull for people to visit and spend considerable time there.
