AD : YOUR ANOTHER LATEST PROJECT ; ACCOR – HOUSE OF ORIGINALS IN DUBAI , AN ART INSPIRED SPACE . TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SPACE .
PALLAVI : House of Originals takes cues from the lunar calendar , a theme that infuses the design scheme in subtle and abstract ways . For example , we used the average number of days in a lunar month ( 29.53059 days ) as a basis for the project ’ s calculations and measurements . The original idea was sparked by a late-night visit to the site when it was only a bare patch of land on Palm Jumeirah island . The twinkle of the moonlight on the sea was such a striking vision that it felt natural to bring it indoors . We also wanted to highlight the important role that the lunar calendar plays in changing the hotel ’ s rhythm throughout the year as key moments occur in the country and the wider region , such as Ramadan , the two Eids , Hajj or the Islamic new year .
