Nahr restaurant is a recent pride of our studio located in the extraordinary GEM, Grand Egyptian Museum, in Cairo and we are delighted to share it.

Nahr was envisioned as an exploration of elevated material expression and considered form, where contemporary Mediterranean influences are reinterpreted into a cohesive and thoughtfully composed spatial identity.

A muted, tonal palette of warm neutrals is layered with lime-washed surfaces, bespoke oak joinery, and fluted timber detailing to create depth and tactile richness. Monolithic counters and terracotta-clad elements anchor the space, while sculpted wall panels and recessed arches introduce rhythm and subtle shadow play.

A continuous stone-effect floor enhances spatial cohesion, complemented by integrated ambient lighting and marble pendant fixtures that cast a soft, diffused glow. Carefully curated greenery is woven throughout, reinforcing a biophilic sensibility and softening the architectural lines.

The result is a calibrated environment that balances material warmth with contemporary elegance, delivering a serene and elevated dining experience.
