The shell of the venue lends Maraya a futuristic aesthetic while simultaneously giving it a timeless simplicity and purity. As sunlight skips around its exterior, Maraya harmoniously and respectfully blends into the natural beauty of the desert canyon in which it stands. Further connection to the landscape is accomplished by a 26-metre floor-to-ceiling facade within the venue that can be opened to reveal panoramic views of Ashar Valley.
Florian Boje of Milan-based architecture studio Gio Forma who designed Maraya, explains, “The reflections give a deep sense of the connection of human heritage with nature.”
