Other vistas are used to guide the guests through the building that feels like a collection of separate smaller structures and just before reaching the focal point, a new vista branches off into a new direction. Thus, a playful environment is created that encourages the guests to explore the numerous spaces and facilities. The water stream at the entrance is allowed to meander through the building accompanying the guests on their journey. Additional water features and lush vegetation with abundant natural sunlight create a tranquil experience while blurring the boundaries between the inside and out while views of the desert root the building to its unique context
