Reda Amalou

Born in Paris in 1963, Reda Amalou carries a rich tapestry of cultural influences — proud of his French and Algerian heritage, he completed his architectural education at the University of East London before returning to France. In 1997 he founded AW2 Architecture Workshop in Paris, establishing a contextual approach to design that has become the hallmark of his work. Under his creative direction, AW2 completed award-winning projects across the globe — the Six Senses Con Dao and the Four Seasons The Nam Hai in Vietnam, the Six Senses Crans-Montana in Switzerland, the Banyan Tree AlUla in Saudi Arabia. Hotels where space, material and atmosphere are inseparable.
