Frequently asked questions.
What does EUD Design & Engineering do?
EUD is an architecture and engineering practice in Giza, Egypt, founded in 1990. One team covers architectural design, interior design, urban planning, electromechanical engineering and construction documents, and construction management, from the first sketch to site handover.
Where does EUD work?
Across Egypt. Most projects are in Greater Cairo (6th of October, Sheikh Zayed, New Cairo, Giza and the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road), on the Red Sea and in Sinai (Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada, El Gouna, Soma Bay, Dahab) and on the North Coast (El Alamein, Marassi, Ras El Hekma, Sidi Heneish, Alexandria, Marsa Matrouh). The studio has also worked in New Assiut, Aswan and the Delta.
What kinds of projects does EUD design?
Hospitality (resorts, hotels, spa and thalassotherapy centres), residential (gated communities, apartment buildings, private villas and apartments) and commercial (malls, business parks, medical centres and clinics). Of 104 projects on record, 46 are residential, 35 hospitality and 23 commercial.
How large are EUD's projects?
From single apartments and clinics of a few hundred square metres to masterplans of up to 966,000 m². For example: Green Heights Compound in 6th of October City (86 villa prototypes on 180,000 m²), Alexa Tower in downtown Alexandria (about 37,000 m²), Coral Sea Resort in Nabq (408 rooms on 200,000 m²) and the 550-room Savita Resort.
