Placed in the middle of the desert
The ombú, like a friend
Lends everyone the shelter
From its branches with love.
It makes a roof of its leaves,
which does not filter the downpour,
and in its shadow the January sun
tempers the scorching ray.
El Ombu, Dominguez, Luis L, 1837

From the Pampas to Dubai, the Ombú is both wisdom and welcome
INSPIRED BY THE ENIGMATIC TANGO OF WIND-SCATTERED LEAVES
The Ombú is a beacon. A dramatic form of nature that is a sanctuary to those wandering through the grasslands, seeking solace under its sheltering branches.
The design intent rests within a carefully curated fusion of opulence, synchrony with nature and architectural innovation. We have crafted a sculptural testament to the artistry of nature that stands out against the iconic Dubai skyline.
