Outward Bound Oman, a socially responsible educational Omani NGO with iconic global brand accountability, required a Desert Centre in a remote, environmentally vulnerable desert location that would authentically express Omani culture and heritage, while passionately embodying best-practice sustainability design, to inspire a legacy of Self-Reliant, elegantly functional buildings for future generations.
Our design distils the essence of an Omani desert caravanserai, oriented for shading/cooling, with 100% solar energy and water recycling capability, wind towers/breezeways and insulated walls
