PROJECTS
CYRENE
Spa and Resort
Boutique Hotel
Amman - Jordan
The project design and concept was to cater to medical patients and families visiting from the GCC and other neighboring Gulf countries.
While demonstrating an architectural modern look and feel, one of the key highlights of the design includes a privacy sliding blind in the suites that would allow sunlight to come into the room whilst maintaining the privacy and comfort of lodging guests.
Planned leasable areas for leisure or food and beverage have been incorporated into the design at the ground and roof level of the structure to include an outdoor poll and theater.

PROJECTS
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA)
Manama - Bahrain
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) was established by Legislative Decree No. 48 of 2002 promulgating the Telecommunications Law.
In a collaborative effort, the KRISTAL Team worked directly with TRA executives on a classic aesthetic that not only captured the client’s end goals but also stayed within budget guidelines. For this reason, various elements of the project were a result of the owner’s personal preferences mixed with budget friendly options.
The project consisted of two floors, housing roughly 75 employees. The space consists of a reception area, two conference rooms, an open office work area where everyone, including the senior executives, sit together. Each area was designed for one specific carpeting added character while complimenting the building’s history. The square footage helped create a sense of intimacy throughout. From start date to completion, the total duration of the project was six months.
