Mega Dunes Eco Lodges
Elio Atallah — Lodge concept and wall-section study. Circular lodging structures use glazing and external louvers to frame desert views while exploring shelter and shading. The two-lodge prototype explores a 360-degree relationship with the desert. External screening and a proposed solar strategy balance panoramic views with shelter from intense sun.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Architecture, intent
and experience.
Circular lodging structures use glazing and external louvers to frame desert views while exploring shelter and shading. The two-lodge prototype explores a 360-degree relationship with the desert. External screening and a proposed solar strategy balance panoramic views with shelter from intense sun.
