01LIGHT HOTEL The Light Hotel is a wellness-driven hospitality project where light becomes the main architectural generator. Inspired by the kaleidoscope effect, the design uses vertical light shafts, angled mirrors, and greenery to distribute natural daylight deep into the building while maintaining privacy. The project transforms light from a functional element into an experiential one, shaping circulation, atmosphere, wellness, and the connection between guests and nature.INAARINAARGRADUATION PROJECT A*

HURGHADA SWIMMING COMPLEX Anuket: A Tribute to the Goddess of the Red Sea is a swimming pool complex located in Hurghada, inspired by the coastal identity and named after the ancient Egyptian goddess Anuket. The design draws from the natural and cultural context of the Red Sea, using solid and void walls with traditional Gouna arches to create a dynamic play of light and shadow. Curved roofs, echoing the motion of sea waves, connect modular volumes and allow for smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing comfort and spatial fluidity. ANUKETANUKET02
