Project idea

The design proposal for ORA Developments Administrative Office Interior represents a vision of corporate luxury integrated with human-centered spatial design. Located in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital, the project aims to translate ORA Developments’ prestigious brand identity into an interior environment that embodies refinement, efficiency, and innovation. The conceptual approach, titled “Organic Luxury,” merges fluid architectural forms with structured functional planning to express harmony between movement and order. Each spatial element—from the dynamic reception zone to the executive offices—is shaped through a balance of natural material warmth and metallic sophistication.
The project’s objectives are to create an inspiring and efficient administrative environment, enhance employee well-being through optimal lighting and ergonomic standards, and visually reinforce ORA’s corporate values of excellence and distinction. The resulting space is both a statement of identity and a model for contemporary workplace design in Egypt’s evolving business landscape.

Project description

The project encompasses the full interior architectural design of an administrative headquarters for ORA Developments, including reception, open workspace, executive offices, meeting areas, circulation corridors, and service zones. The spatial layout was developed to ensure seamless functional flow between public and private zones while maintaining the brand’s identity through material and lighting coherence.

The design integrates book-matched Calacatta marble, brushed-brass finishes, and warm pine wood panels to establish a corporate-luxury atmosphere aligned with ORA’s aesthetic values. Lighting solutions combine indirect linear profiles and recessed spotlights concealed within gypsum ceiling layers to ensure balanced illumination and visual comfort.

Furniture and joinery elements were designed with ergonomic precision and integrated storage systems, supporting both elegance and functionality. Acoustic treatments, sustainable materials with low VOC finishes, and efficient HVAC distribution were incorporated to enhance user comfort and operational performance.

The project scope covers interior space planning, material selection, lighting design, furniture detailing, and visualization, delivering a cohesive administrative environment that reflects ORA Developments’ prestige and forward-thinking corporate vision.
