Najwa Sanctuary is a 5 star eco resort in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. Habitat Design, Gabrielle and Christoph Tylor were involved in the planning of the sustainability aspects of the project. This included water harvesting, water management and waste water recycling energy systems as well as air condition and internal transport systems.The objective was to design a functional resort with minimal input from outside. The project brief stated as major goal a high degree of self sustainability. Habitat Design’s sustainability expert Christoph Tylor designd together with Global Sustainability several systems to achieve this goal.
For example roman cooling trenches should provide cool air for the guest cabins. Power generation during the night should be achieved with compressed air driven generators, which exhaust gas was pure but minus18 degree cold air. The exhaust was connected to the cool room of the restaurants and the roman cooling trenches. Air was compressed in a trombe with falling water.
