About Majlis Privat klubbhus

Majlis er et privat klubbhus designet for gjestfrihet i Dubai. Navnet Majlis er et arabisk begrep for et formelt forsamlingsrom, og i arabisk kultur dekker begrepet også bygninger laget for privat gjestfrihet. Bygningen i én etasje har en L-formet plantegning på en tomt på 60 ganger 60 meter. Planløsningen inkluderer formelle og uformelle stue- og spiseområder, to soverom med eget bad, et kontor og en frittstående servicebygning med kjøkken. Steinkledning, marmorinteriør, trippelglassvinduer og et skyggende tak passer godt til ørkenklimaet.

Production Technology
The building employs a canopy offering shading to the tripple glazing glass envelope to protect from the harsh weather conditions of the desert climate. The materials chosen are natural organic materials, such stone cladding and marble interiors for a cooler feel, that responds well to the existing climate conditions . The vegetation proposed helps act as a buffer for the heat transmittance and provide natural shading with interesting shadows.
Design Challenge
The challenges in this design were the location of the building and the continuous request for expansion by the client.

With respect to the location, the designated spot is a low wetland where the rainwater gets concentrated underground. This requiring a different and innovative structural approach without compromising the design.
Research
Apart from the study of the condition of the site location being on a wetland called by the locals as "Sabkha", the shape needed to open up to embrace the beauty of the natural surroundings. Another factor that was added to the mix was the element of surprise, where the entrance to the building is located in the Southern end with solid facade, where once inside the view opens up to the site's unique characteristics overlooking Burj khalifa view and a beautiful horizon.
Inspiration
The club house gets its inspiration from the idea of merging between the old and the new in the Arabian culture, where the concept of hospitality is at the core, while the Arabian oasis in the desert is the nostalgia that modern arabs likes to merge alongside their contemporary lifestyle.
Project Duration
The project is located in Dubai, and it is still in the design phase stage.
Operation Flow
The majlis operates in a way that allows it to accommodate a large number of guests within the space. The layout is divided into 3 zones each with its own service corridor, circulation and supporting spaces for utilities. The view of the building is more open to the northwest side of the plot where the vital areas can enjoy the sunset view of Burj Khalifa in the distant horizon.
