"The new planting, and the pool in the plaza create a pleasant environment protected by the monumental colonnade around. The pools of the lagoon reflect the arches and columns of the colonnades in dramatic and picturesque ways, creating a tranquil public space for El Gouna residents throughout the year, even if there is no pre-determined event taking place.
"Christina Seilern and her design team at London-based Studio Seilern Architects together with Landesign Landscape Architecture, have enclosed the Gouna Festival Plaza in the Red Sea resort of El Gouna, Egypt, with the design of a trio of colonnades."
