An environmentally friendly desert retreat is the latest creation of Baharash Architecture

Located in Liwa, Abu Dhabi, it is “in harmony with the pristine and untouched desert-scape” say the design team.

The retreat is completely energy self-sufficient, using solar panels as it generates and stores clean power in battery units.

Other features include smart glass windows to offer instant privacy at the flick of a switch, an indoor herb garden, and a central fire place for social interaction which was a key part of the Bedouin heritage.
