Value engineering on complex surfaces
When it comes to double-curved surfaces and high-end engineering projects, Devoto Design can offer consultancy and custom-made solutions that can grant the delivery of strongly customized interiors.
The 28th floor of the Doha Oasis Hotel was designed by Studio Jacques Garcia to welcome the hotel lounge and food area. The studio conceived a double curved structure of black walnut wood walls that twists and envelops the areas dedicated to food&leisure. Their design and shape make them look like the trunk and roots of a big tree. The walls reach up to 10 m height and curve in different directions. They are made of thousands of wood pieces that, installed upon each other, compose this big 3D puzzle.
Some numbers:
1.143 sqm surface
10,5 m max height
210 cu.m of timber
24.856 installation hours
22.950 wood pieces
