The Synthesis

“The Synthesis” is a new style of living, wherein; it becomes an organic addition with luxurious spaces, within the mountains of Oman.

The concept behind “The Synthesis” lies in the mountain being lifted or pulled open to accommodate gallery spaces, living spaces, labs and retreats. The pull is exaggerated by openings connected to columns, of varying heights that evoke the feeling of “trying to break free.”

As a result, a juxtaposed condition is created wherein the mountain is pulled open to create space, however, the columns prevent the pull by bounding it to the ground, just like the roots of a tree.

The structural columns itself become significant markers to measure seismic activity in this tectonic region.

“The Synthesis” is a natural part of the landscape in its appearance and has the potential to become a form that supports a dense ecosystem camouflaging the skin, over the coming years.
