HOSPITALITY DESIGN COMPETITION AT AUD IN COLLABORATION WITH ROTANA
The concept behind Cove Catch is an immersive journey into Alexandria's maritime heritage, drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns of fishing nets. Designed for cultural explorers, our experience celebrates Egypt's coastal traditions. Guests engage in hands-on learning, discovering the art of fishing and coastal life. Through authentic encounters and coastal-inspired design, Cove Catch creates a memorable stay infused with Egyptian maritime charm.
Inspired by Alexandria's rich maritime heritage, our resort offers a unique tribute to the city's fishing culture. Nestled along the Mediterranean, our commitment to authenticity is evident in every detail, from the design inspired by fishing nets to the curated guest experiences. Above all, our goal at Cove Catch is to create a welcoming and inclusive space that celebrates the diversity and beauty of Alexandria.
At Cove Catch, sustainability is paramount in our construction approach. We utilize reclaimed wood from local sources like old fishing boats and historic buildings, reducing the demand for new timber while preserving the region's character. We also integrate rattan, a renewable material, into our interior décor for its natural beauty and durability. From woven accents to furniture pieces, every detail reflects our commitment to sustainability. Outdoors, rattan combined with metal creates elegant mesh screens, offering privacy and ventilation with minimal environmental impact. Cove Catch demonstrates how sustainable materials enhance both aesthetics and functionality responsibly.
