Project Summary

A project that will revolutionize riverside dining in Cairo. A new language of design, and signature quality that cannot be found anywhere else. A new brand of lightness, fun, and life.

Diamond boat, a luxurious floating hotel that was famous back in the 60’s, now has a chance to come back with a bang. The location of the boat in Maadi corniche gives the boat a chance to shine with a new idea, a new technique that would make it very unique in its area. Currently, there is an abundance of food courts and floating restaurants in the city, hence a new idea was needed to make the place stand out and be known for its innovation and quality. The intention is to design for fun, design for life and make it easy and unique. The idea in signature was to achieve spacious seating areas, overlooking the water (or in it) that would make a person feel lively, within a new language of thinking, designing, and interacting. Flying above in a mass so light that feels like its floating as much as the boat is. A hot air balloon that flies regularly for a private pre-reserved dinner, floating tables in the Nile with water lights, and a romantic mood.

The location beside the water, the presence of a boat, the addition of floating decks, the daily flights of the hot air balloon, the penguin aquarium, all of those are factors that add to the project a unique sense of excitement. By mixing a lot of different types of activities, the place is suitable for all age groups and outing purposes.
