Mercury

Mercury is a hotel garden designed for the entrance area of a hotel on the coral coast of Kish Island, beside the Persian Gulf. The garden covers 1200 square meters. The forms are taken from the underwater world, in particular the corals and fish seen along the coast. Different lighting is applied on each side and angle to create contrast. At night, the illuminated coral garden recalls the bioluminescent coastal creatures of the Persian Gulf. The aim is to bring a sense of sea calm into the space of the hotel.

Sorec Horse Park

Sorec Horse Park is a horse racing park with a grandstand in Rabat, Morocco, covering 63,750 square meters. The twisted form of the grandstand was inspired by horse movement and responds to sunlight and views. A repetitive structural system lets the outer skin twist without custom made parts, keeping construction costs reasonable. The perforated skin and the self shaded canopy reduce heat gain and glare. Materials are sourced locally in Morocco. The layout separates guests, visitors and jockeys, while the horse track stays visible from the central green space.
