CASE STUDY | SNIM HOTEL
THE SITE The project is located between the Congress Palace and the Police Academy. To accommodate the windy climate, rooms are oriented on a south-western axis with shielding plant screens to reduce the impact of sandstorms. Protective walls, shelter areas and vegetation keep the north-eastern portion of the property shaded and reduce harsh winds. This creates a microclimate set apart from the denser urban area. Draw Link sought to bring every element of the outside world into the hotel with shops, a Moorish cafĂŠ, restaurants, a business centre and more.
