The “Ghaf Majlis Project” located in the UAE is a cultural gathering spot for guests, where they discuss various topics, exchange news, and socialize. The site is located in the desert and surrounded by the national UAE tree, the Ghaf tree. A simple yet dynamic and changeable shape, holding in its odd-self the true spirit of absolute geometry. The triangle itself repeats in multiple features becoming, together with sharp lines, the leitmotif of this building’s expression. From here the three-dimensional volumes take shape pursuing ‘towards the upwards’.The building program consists of the Main Majlis
and Mini Majlis, the Main Dining room and Mini Dining room, Lobby, Bathrooms, and a Heavy Kitchen. We placed the Majlises and Dining rooms in a way that gives them complete privacy and at the same time keeps a visual connection to the surrounding nature. The central intersection of the paths leading to the rooms is highlighted by a triangular water feature. The whole design is purely derived from the site, client and functions which fulfilled the core requirements.
