Alchemy
Alchemy has been shortlisted for Living Space – Global Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.
Sitting on the Mediterranean Beach of the north coast of Egypt, Alchemy wanted the design of this home to benefit from its location as well as its inhabitants. With this in mind, they designed Shell House as a harmonious beach house that reflects the host’s personality throughout, layering textures to give depth and gravity to the space and implementing colours, shapes and patterns for a fun, summer feel.
Its bright and bold approach to design defines this beach house as both fun and comfortable. The Shell House is a playful, thoughtful, and generous abode. It is a property that embodies the spirit of Summer and is a place where guests can have fun and enjoy each other’s company as well as its North Coast location. Alchemy took inspiration from the Summer season to design Shell House as a bright and welcoming property. Playful design emulates the host’s personality, with unconventional shapes being used within the living spaces. Bold block colours and natural materials for an eye-catching partnership, and the layered textures give gravity to the space. Each design decision has been made to add vibrancy and liveliness to the home, which inevitably alludes to the fun of summer.
The luxury villa has been designed to also consider a fourth dimension of Time. When also putting this into the design, the house captures the essence of the sea by allowing the golden light of the sunset to engage with the property. The natural light throws shadows throughout the day, introducing a dynamic element to the interiors. As the sun rises and sets its light interacts with the textures, angles, and lines of Shell House, and the house and its location work together to express the true design potential of the property.
