KAROO OASIS
PG BISON 1.618 COMPETITION
University Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project transforms a Karoo desert site into a modern oasis - a space that is both a serene retreat and a striking backdrop for social media and advertising content. The design offers multiple curated areas, each crafted to be highly photogenic while remaining functional for everyday living.
​
Inspired by the four natural elements, Earth is expressed through a neutral, earthy palette that anchors the home in its surroundings. Fire appears in a sculptural outdoor fire pit and an abstract artwork in the master bedroom. Water is present in an indoor pool and a feature by the fire pit, while Wind is captured through a kinetic sculpture and operable shutters that bring fresh air throughout the house.
​
The result is an immersive, Instagram-ready oasis that balances atmosphere, comfort, and visual storytelling at every turn.
