Foster + Partners studio head Gerard Evenden said: “When we looked at the islands our approach was to have a light touch. As light as it could possibly be.

“It was the light touch, non-damaging approach, that has led through the whole of the design from beginning to end, and that is what we continue to strive towards.”

The new property is part of The Red Sea Project, a luxury tourism destination that is being developed in Saudi Arabia.

The project includes an archipelago of more than 90 pristine islands, miles of sweeping desert and dramatic mountain landscapes.
