Objective

Inspired by the legacy of Ramses II, Katakumb at São Paulo’s Hopi Hari theme park was built to exactly match the scale of Ramses’ iconic temple, featuring over 2,000 square meters of intricate façades and an immersive 800-square-meter interior. Beyond its impressive exterior, Katakumb invites visitors to explore of labyrinthine, corridors and chambers, evoking the sense of discovery found in ancient Egyptian temples. The objective was to create an environment that transports guests into the mystique of Ramses’ era, blending architectural storytelling with a memorable journey through history.

Solution

Sotogrande Studio approached the Katakumb project with a vision to evoke the rich heritage of ancient Egyptian culture through art. The façades, reminiscent of the grand temples of Luxor, were meticulously hand-carved by skilled artisans, who manually inscribed hieroglyphs that tell stories of gods, pharaohs, and the afterlife. Enhancing the façade, towering 12-meter sculptures of Ramses stand sentinel, serving as a reminder of the legacy left by one of Egypt’s most revered pharaohs.
 
Inside, the experience unfolds like the chambers of a hidden tomb, where vibrant frescoes painted in rich hues by talented artists adorn the walls. Bas-reliefs and intricately detailed columns illustrate scenes of daily life, divine rituals, and celestial journeys. Sotogrande Studio carefully studied each detail of ancient Egyptian art, from the types of stones used and their aging processes to the colors derived from natural pigments, ensuring that every aspect of the project authentically reflects the essence of this remarkable civilization.
