Jo Malone - Oasis Mirage
Oasis Mirage is located in Palm Springs, CA. Oasis Mirage collaborates with Jo Malone. We are trying to create a Secret Oasis for customers. We are trying to provide a dream feeling and create a strong contrast between Palm Springs and Oasis Mirage.

Wind Cycle System
Inspiration: Wind Tower
The function of a wind tower tower is to catch cooler breeze that prevail at a higher level above the ground and to direct it into the interior of the buildings.
Wind Cycle in Oasos Mirage Main Building
Hot wind will come into the building during the night.
Hot wind will cool down the cool water (water pool & waterfall). The entire building will cool down by the cool wind.
The canopies create a 45-degree to help the hot wind go into the main building.
Eco-Friendly Systems:
Biogas Production: Converts waste into energy.
Compost: Improves nutrient-poor soil and reduces pests.
Water-Saving Solutions:
Filtered grey water for irrigation.
Drip irrigation minimizes water use.
Rainwater collection (cisterns) for year-round use.
Organic mulch reduces evaporation and adds nutrients.
Sustainability Wind
Cooling & Energy:
Low-pressure spray system adds humidity.
Solar panels for sustainable energy.
Public Space
The public space creates a dream and natural feeling. Most materials I chose are really natural materials. Like sandstone, oak wood, copper, green terrazzo and so. on.
Guest-room
The guest room uses fabric materials on the wall, trying to bring out a mirage feeling. Most of the plants used around the guest room are desert plants, which can help the hotel keep the sustainability ideas. We use less water to provide a forest feeling.
