During my work experience as a junior architect ‘Sahel Al-Hiyari Architects’, I worked on Najwa Resort, an eco-tourism project consisting of a number of different lodges and units, scattered in Wadi Rum to form a unique journey for travellers. My Work was in Schematic Design I and Schematic Design II phases.
Type: A Resort
Location: Wadi Rum, Jordan

Hammam/Najwa Resort-Schematic I
This Hammam’s plan lies mostly underground. All that is seen on the site are hats of rough stone embedded in the wooden deck. Connected by the wooden deck, the different treatment rooms are linked. The underground spaces are meant to be raw and chiseled in the stone.
