Project development for a resort in the Hajar Mountains, approximately 130 km south-west of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

A full self-sustainability is an essential requirement of the proposal.
The building materials available on site are clay, stone and wood. The energy supply includes natural ventilation using the wind tower principle, rainwater collection and a self-sufficient energy and food supply.

Willing to respond to the most diverse needs with creative tailored solutions, the project displays a broad spectrum of living typologies: a hotel, luxurious villas, adventurous bivouacs and guest houses are among the options.

The project displays a broad spectrum of living typologies, including a hotel, luxurious villas, adventurous bivouacs and guest houses, in order to respond to the most diverse needs with creative, tailored solutions.

Living typologies are designed to appeal to clients with diverse cultural backgrounds and age ranges, they offer privacy and a variety of rest and recreation facilities.
The hotel aims to become a “landmark” for the region. A variety of open-air leisure activities are offered by the resort.

The existing terrain, which has already been altered by human intervention, will feature natural additions such as oases and a rock gorge. A pedestrian path will provide access to individual accommodation and lead through the diverse landscapes.
