Client

Red Sea Real Estate Company

Located on Sheybarah Island in the Red Sea, Shebara Resort is a luxury destination featuring 73 overwater and beach villas, designed as a collection of reflective pods resembling a “string of pearls.”

Designed by Killa Design, the project blends cutting-edge architecture with nature, using reflective materials and organic forms to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding seascape.

The resort is fully off-grid and powered by solar energy, supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 through sustainable tourism and eco-conscious design.

With complex geometries, external exposure, and a marine environment, the project required advanced construction systems to ensure durability, precision, and performance.

CHALLENGES

Achieving complex curved ceiling geometries using precise prefabrication methods.
Designing systems to withstand high wind pressure (3.15 kPa) in a marine environment.
Managing logistics for transporting 120-ton prefabricated villas to a remote island.
Coordinating works under limited manpower and tight timelines.
Adapting to harsh weather and sea conditions affecting installation schedules.
Ensuring durability of systems in external and coastal conditions.

OUTCOME

Gyproc delivered a highly engineered solution combining façade, ceiling, and partition systems tailored to complex geometry and extreme environmental conditions.

The solution included:

Gyproc MF Curve systems for complex curved ceilings.
Glasroc X and façade systems for external durability.
GypWall CLASSIC and QUIET systems for internal and external partitions.
Custom-engineered solutions using prefabricated molds and curved framing techniques.

The project achieved precise geometry execution, structural resilience against environmental loads, and high-quality finishes while maintaining sustainability objectives and zero safety incidents.
