Breathing Beach House / Karm Architecture Lab (KAL)
The single-story 3-bedroom family vacation home was envisioned as a truly vernacular structure, one that celebrates both the desert and the Red Sea, within its idyllic sea-front location in Egypt?s Eastern desert. Due to the site?s climatic conditions and the structure?s exposed location, with temperatures reaching 50 Celsius in summer, the home?s design was heavily influenced by the environmental strategies that would protect it. Inspired by the philosophies of biomimicry and biophilia, the Breathing Beach House was designed to act as a living thing, reacting to climatic conditions to create comfortable indoor environments for its inhabitants.
