The project’s design is inspired by the Ras Brouq Mountain Range in Qatar, characterized by canopy shaped rock formations sculpted by winds and natural factors.This project is designed for the purpose of reviving tourism in the city of Mesaieed, by utilizing the land’s natural topography, which is characterized by its wind induced sand dunes that cover large areas of land . Sites were allocated for structural blocks - inspired by the silhouette of Ras Brouq’s rocky formations, its curvatures, lines , and the natural proportions of the plains of Mesaieed - forming a series of gardens that mimic Qatari nature combined with modern architecture. Sustainability and contemporary architectural character prevail in the details of these blocks , namely in the shape and size of ventilation openings as well as the utilization of natural light and solar energy. That is in addition to numerous green areas encompassing trees and vegetation for the purpose of increasing the purity of air. Additionally, roofs were planted with greenery to improve and enhance the environment and to insulate the blocks thermally. The unique design of this project stands out as a combination between the Qatari natural environment and green architecture, creating a tourist attraction in the city of Mesaieed, while preserving environmental heritage and utilizing sustainable architectural design.
