SINDALAH ISLAND The Village

The architectural concept of the Village is rooted in the island's natural elements, focusing on its most distinctive features. The horizontal and vertical characteristics of the landscape form the basis for the architectural composition. This design approach starts with the careful overlay of these natural elements, utilizing a trilithic system to create a harmonious integration of solid and void spaces.
The architectural language of the Village is a reinterpretation of these natural elements into architectural forms, aiming to seamlessly blend the essence and authenticity of nature with human intervention. Rocks and their aggregates are interpreted as vertical elements, serving as pillars that support various roof systems at different levels. These pillars also function as walls to achieve a balanced proportion of solid and open spaces.
Rock ridges, seen as horizontal elements, form the irregular-shaped roofs of individual buildings, adapted to the morphology of each Village block. These roofs are internally stratified to mitigate the effects of sun and wind.
The sun and wind, which have sculpted Sindalah's rocks over time, are integral to the architecture. The wind channels through the spaces, regulating the bioclimatic aspect and enhancing the comfort of Village life. Various roof systems in each building mitigate the impact of the sun.
This combination of vertical and horizontal elements creates a series of interconnected spaces that accommodate residences, commercial areas, terraces, and various functional environments within the Village.
