Shedwan

El Gouna, Egypt

Shedwan is a stunning fusion of modern design and traditional vernacular elements launched 2023 and crafted by Studio être. A contemporary makeover that respects the cultural integrity of the deserts aesthetic while making the space feel luxurious and functional. The use of geometrical masses for natural cooling are an example for how architecture adapts the environment. Building shapes helps with temperature regulations but also enhance the visual rhythm of the structure. Layouts crafted to balance open, airy spaces with more segregated areas, facing the lagoons. Creature comforts are hardly denied, but nor are the essential qualities of the land, as Studio être accommodate delicate ecosystems and are less demanding in terms of energy and materials.
