Hotel design by Oppenheim Architecture + Design in Florida to be constructed in the red sandstone cliffs in Wadi rum, close to the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. The 47 desert lodges in the enclaves will benefit from the wild natural beauty of the area. I like how the black and grey water run off's from inside the cliffs is to be sustainably filtered by a natural botanical growth of plants. Architecture like this blurs the line between the wild habitations of the ancient civilizations that inhabited the caves of the Wadi rum sandstone and the modern, very comfortable architecture of today.
