This project won the LIV Hospitality Design Awards, recognizing its design excellence in blending historical context with refined hospitality standards.
The SARAYA Hotel, located in northern Israel, is a boutique hospitality project situated within a historic Ottoman-era structure. The design centers around a lush inner courtyard inspired by traditional water gardens, featuring a central pool surrounded by mature palms, custom planters, and arched colonnades draped with fabric to evoke a calm, resort-like atmosphere.
The architectural approach balances heritage preservation with contemporary design. Carefully restored stone facades and traditional masonry screens coexist with modern interior detailing, natural finishes, and a warm, neutral palette. Each guest room opens to the courtyard and includes a private outdoor lounge area, reinforcing the connection between indoor comfort and outdoor tranquility.
