Moon Retreat, Sharjah
About the Project
Set within the dramatic desert landscape of Mleiha, Moon Retreat is a distinctive hospitality destination developed by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq). Part of the Sharjah Collection, the retreat features geodesic domes and private tents thoughtfully positioned among the dunes and rocky terrain, offering an immersive experience within the natural environment.
The retreat's architectural character is defined by its geometric forms, restrained design and relationship with the surrounding landscape. The contrast between the contemporary structures and the desert's natural textures creates a distinctive composition, where architecture and environment become closely connected.
My architectural and aerial photography explores this relationship through carefully selected perspectives, documenting the spatial arrangement of the domes, their geometric forms and their integration with the surrounding terrain. Working with natural light, the photographic series highlights the changing colours, textures and atmosphere of the Mleiha landscape.
The images present a visual study of contemporary desert hospitality, focusing on the balance between architectural design, landscape and the experience of place.
