Kengo Kuma designs the Land Villas for Red Sea Global to continue building efforts towards a more sustainable eco-tourism experience. These luxurious villas have curved roofs which are done on purpose with the influence of the contour of dunes in the area. It also has a helical structure that boasts captivating views of the surrounding waters.
Additionally, the design was formed to ensure that it reduces disturbance in the area with prefabrication. The team also used spruce timber and clay plaster with the roofs using natural cedar wood shingles -- this keeps it resilient against salt water and other harsh weather. The islands in the area also have special restaurants along with amenities such as a spa and community building for socialization.
