The ultra-modern seven-star boutique MARQUEE hotel with 40 villas is an embodiment of a true oasis. Each villa offers a private patio, a swimming pool and a stunning view of the desert and canyons. Here privacy go together with comfortable relaxation, poetic images are embellished by innovative technologies, and state-of-art architecture addresses the challenging climatic conditions.
Sustainability is at the core of this project. The hotel is powered by an off-grip solar station and equipped with cutting-edge technologies to achieve net-zero emissions and minimal energy consumption. The buildings are made mostly of locally procured materials, such as low-carbon concrete and glass reinforced fibre panels.
The architectural basis of the concept is the marquee pavilion used by Oriental nomads since time immemorial. In present-day interpretation, its shape has become minimalistic and dynamic. When designing the buildings, the architects took into consideration the sun’s motion path and the degree of the tilt of sun rays in order to create adequate shade along the length of each building without limiting the arc of vision from within and thus affording impressive views from the windows.
