该项目场地位于沙特阿拉伯的MADA’IN SALEH地区和约旦佩特拉古城的南部地区HEGRA，MADA’IN SALEH是沙特阿拉伯第一个由联合国科教文组织认定的世界遗产地，而约旦佩特拉古城是由当地国家旅游遗产机构认定的。日前，Wendell Burnette团队向外公布了他们的酒店

从目前的进展情况来看，设计团队希望能够将整个酒店建造的更加抽象，选用的是当地沙原上的轻硅岩作为材料，周边是无边际的沙漠景象，这里周边没有公路，唯一与之相连的是古老的黑格拉古城，似乎与世隔绝。如果步行来到这里，或者骑着骆驼，骑着马来穿越这里，没有玻璃，没有山水，只有一个低矮的阶梯砂岩，甚至到了晚上，唯一能够证明这座酒店的存在的便是园内燃起的篝火，如果不细心观察，它便像海市蜃楼一样，似乎随时都会消失。

Wendell Burnette Architects has released images of their design for Saudi Arabia’s 1st UNESCO World Heritage Site, the MADA’IN SALEH or HEGRA south of Petra; which has recently been approved by The Saudi Commission for Tourism & National Heritage.Our hotel concept for the MADA’IN SALEH UNESCO World Heritage Site is designed as a mirage within the south edge of the Jabal Ithlib (Mountain of Standing Stones).

From afar, our design intends to recede, to disappear into an isolated group of smaller standing stones as an anonymous base constructed of light silica stone from the sand plain in a simple geometry - quiet and humble and unknown to the roads approaching the Jabal Ithlib and the ancient city of Hegra.From any direction on foot, on camelback, on horseback or by carriage - no glass, no reflections, only a low stepped sandstone base - even at night, one may only discern the warm glow of a group of campfires around some island rocks.
