El Gouna

Egypt 

Minas Kosmidis Architects was asked to undertake the design of a house in the coastal area of El Gouna in Egypt. It is a 640 sqm project, the design of which started from scratch in 2015 and was completed in 2022.

Taking into consideration the surrounding area and its particular characteristics, the proposal attempts to harmonize with the light and serene feeling of the surrounding atmosphere. The floor plan is organized by orthonormal drawings that contrast with the curves that describe the appearance of the building.

The entrance to the residence is through a corridor that leads to the living area, where the only element that separates it from the dining room is the metal structure that carries the television. The kitchen and bedrooms are arranged in the remaining zones of the residence, slightly more isolated.
