This luxury hotel is located in Oran, a city in northwestern Algeria, situated on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Considering the aesthetic and cultural richness of the area developed the lighting concept based on four words, Geyser, Plot, adventure and experience.

This project is particularly characterized by the use of elements such as water, natural light and fire to create special effects inside and outside the space.

The concept is manifested through light reflected from water to the entrance area, natural light interaction surfaces on the front frame, set of lines and light circle on floor, wall and ceiling transition zones, backlit walls and use of fire and intimate relaxation areas.
