Our proposal for a mixed uses Building on the Al Marmoon Oasis, Dubai
Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid — Dubai’s Living Mirage
Rising from the tawny sands like an ancient mirage reborn, the Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid re‑imagines the timeless desert ziggurat as a twenty‑first‑century city‑within‑a‑building. Its stepped silhouette, draped in lush vegetation, evolves from the region’s vernacular—oasis farming terraces, wind‑catching towers, and the shimmering geometry of Bedouin textiles—yet it speaks the language of advanced eco‑technology and flexible urban life.
Vision
Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid is not merely a landmark; it is a manifesto for desert urbanism. By fusing indigenous wisdom with regenerative design, it proves that a building can be at once refuge, workplace, playground, and farm—thriving in harmony with one of the planet’s most demanding climates. In the heart of Dubai’s protected reserve, the pyramid stands as a living promise: the future city can grow green, even in the driest sands.
