About
Arab references are used in a modern way: a roof that recalls the tent, a wind tower that cools and ventilates, and patterned surfaces. The lobby is an interior oasis that leads to the pools, courts and studios.
Built with local materials, the wind tower, the water in the lobby and solar panels together are expected to cut energy consumption by 70%.
Sustainability
