Sustainability Approach

Sustainable design is at the heart of our approach to the Lucida Cairo project. To achieve a truly eco-friendly and culturally rich environment, we made deliberate choices that not only minimize our ecological footprint but also celebrate the talents of local artisans.
Local Artisan Collaboration:
We collaborated closely with Cairo's skilled local artisans, who brought their cultural heritage to the forefront of Lucida Cairo's design. These artisans meticulously crafted surfaces using traditional techniques and designs inspired by the city's rich history.
Minimalist Lighting Integration:
We integrated minimal lighting elements within the surfaces crafted by local artisans, placing fixtures discreetly. This approach provided gentle illumination that accentuated textures without compromising energy efficiency.
The only decorative light was locally made with local manufacturers.
