Inspired materials for a memorable experience

Leveraging Doha’s beachfront setting as a metaphor, the signage material palette draws inspiration from the luster and luminance of pearls, with materials like tempered glass and quartz reflecting the transparency and movement of water. Curvilinear forms and rounded elements were influenced by the nearby ocean’s fluidity, seamlessly blending distinctive forms with functional design.
