This project is situated in the heart of Dubai, UAE, within an active and busy setting. It exists next to a large hospital and serves to shelter cancer patients and attempts to heal their mental and emotional health by providing an intimate and comfortable space. Over the last century, the old city has transformed from a series of forts, structures, and castles to the modern and futuristic scene now known to its residents. The infrastructure correlating with the city’s growth and advancement has created a busy, noisy, and fast-paced urban context. These issues have become an emotional and mental burden to cancer patients across the city that already suffer from physical and mental health constraints.
