The El Seif Design Centre presents a rare opportunity to define a cultural haven with an unparalleled scope and program. The design center is about creativity, collaboration, cross-pollination. The program of showrooms, café, boutique hotel, offices, and lecture theater are organized around a Garden Oasis where deep zones of arid-appropriate vegetation cool the outdoor environment. Bridges, stairs, and topography ‘stitch’ the north and south sides together below catenary shades, evoking the best of the world’s souk experiences. Heritage Project
