Seaside Hotel Complex

Located on Kish Island, where high temperatures and humidity often create discomfort, the hotel project is designed to offer both architectural quality and thermal comfort. Energy efficiency is a core aspect of the design, incorporating strategies such as natural ventilation, optimal building orientation, and measures to reduce heat absorption. The guest experience is enriched through a floating entertainment complex connected by a bridge to the main building, featuring restaurants, shops, and special duplex units as part of the second project phase.

Floating Suites with Underwater & Sunset Views

On the floating section of the complex, unique suites have been designed partially submerged beneath the water surface while the upper half remains above. This offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience, combining an immersive view of underwater life with the comfort of a family stay. A staircase leads to a private balcony, providing the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunset over the sea.

Floating Entertainment Complex

To enrich the visitor experience, a floating entertainment complex has been added to the main building. Connected by an over-water bridge, this separate structure expands the range of activities available to guests, featuring restaurants, shops, and special duplex units. As part of the project’s second phase, this addition creates diverse architectural experiences and fosters vibrant social spaces.

Climate Considerations and Thermal Comfort

The hotel project addresses the climatic challenges of Kish Island, where the average air temperature reaches 27°C and can peak at 32°C. The combination of heat and high humidity, particularly during warmer seasons, often leads to uncomfortable conditions for visitors. To tackle this, the design prioritizes creating pleasant and thermally comfortable spaces.

Cooling Strategies and Facade Design

Deep cuts and breaks in the building's exterior are strategically oriented toward coastal winds, helping to naturally cool the walls and reduce the building’s heat load. A thick canopy, constructed from dense materials, shelters the structure from direct sunlight. The deliberate gap between the canopy and the building ensures that accumulated heat does not transfer into interior spaces, further enhancing thermal comfort.

Architectural Form and Natural Ventilation

The architectural form of the building is longitudinal, allowing most guest rooms to benefit from expansive sea views while promoting natural airflow throughout the structure. Vertical voids act as ventilation shafts to discharge warm air from corridors and the hotel lobby, contributing to cooler interior environments.

Integration of Environment and Guest Comfort

The phased development of the floating complex complements the main hotel while offering new ways for guests to engage with the coastal environment. Overall, the project seamlessly integrates environmental considerations, architectural expression, and guest comfort to create a hospitality destination tailored to the conditions and beauty of Kish Island.

Ultimate Relaxation with Panoramic Sea Views

On the rooftop level , the hotel features both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, along with a dedicated sports area, sauna, and massage rooms. Each space is designed to offer an uninterrupted, infinite view of the sea, enhancing the luxurious and serene experience.

Elevated Dining with Seamless Sea Views

On the middle and top floors of the hotel complex, various cafés and restaurants are strategically placed to offer direct views of the sea. Some of these terraces are interconnected by staircases, creating a dynamic and inviting spatial experience. The overall atmosphere of these common public areas is open and engaging, encouraging exploration while maintaining a strong visual and physical connection to the sea.
