A New Future

At the northern tip of the Red Sea, east of Egypt and south of Jordan, a new city of industry, global trade, resorts, and private estates is underway. For this newly planned $1.5 trillion community of 10,200 square miles, Poon Design has been commissioned to design five prototype residences to be replicated throughout the region.

1. Modern Umbrella: This 85,000-square-foot residence serves an extended family—while under a giant sunshade. Our ‘umbrella’ protects from the harsh desert conditions, providing indoor/outdoor areas with a sense of unity and community.
2. Contemporary Courtyard: The rectilinear ring of rooms raised up on 14’ tall columns creates and connects a courtyard to its surroundings, capturing cross ventilation. The large enigmatic shapes contain the stairs and event rooms for this 26,000-square-foot estate.

3. New Oasis: As a simple circular form, the 55,000-square-foot composition provides privacy and security, with a view to the sea. Inspired by the Land Art movement of the 60s, this residence nestles in the earth and is entered by a ramp carved into the desert sand.
4. Wave House: Recalling the sea waves, sculptural forms sweep through and around the 24,000-square-foot residence. Living areas are implied by a curving wall, sloping floor or lifting ceiling—all with expansive glass panels viewing the exterior setting.
5. Linear Residence: 80,000 square feet of residence is captured within the most elemental of gestures: a single straight line. Windows, outdoor family spaces and private terraces are carved into the monolithic building, providing a lively façade against the vast monotony of sand.
