Kengo Kuma Unveils An Eco-Conscious Island Retreat<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner For Country Getaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interior Design Hall of Fame member<\/a> and architect Kengo Kuma<\/a> has crafted St. Regis Red Sea Resort, an eco-conscious island retreat comprising 47 beach and 43 overwater villas, five dining venues, and extensive wellness facilities. To minimize the use of concrete, the structures employ prefabricated timber construction with roofs clad in natural cedar shingles and walls finished with clay plaster. The organic curves of the buildings blend seamlessly with the Ummahat Island, Saudi Arabia, landscape or appear to spiral gracefully from the sea. All villas incorporate private sundecks and pools, while designer Kristina Zanic<\/a>\u2019s characterful interiors feature a desert-inspired palette accented with coral and teal hues. Details include turtle shell\u2013patterned floor tile, coral-shaped handles, hand-embellished art, and accessories crafted from natural materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
