BLINK’s approach to design is grounded in the art of placemaking. Banyan Tree Dubai reflects this philosophy with spaces that invite guests to reconnect with themselves, nature and each other.

Inspired by desert landscapes, the lobby becomes a modern mirage: soft lighting, filtered through sheer drapery and ceiling coves, is enhanced with materiality and spatial layering. “There’s an immediate sense of calm and retreat,” added Nagata. “The arrival experience – defined by softly screened partitions – creates a gentle transition from the fast-paced city outside to a tranquil sanctuary within.”
