FOLLY MOJAVE
— Enveloped by hundreds of square miles of natural scenery, the preserved 200+ Acre property is situated on the edge of The Mojave National preserve and Joshua Tree National Park. For thousands of years, roaming tribes occupied what is now known as the Oasis of Mara. The new destination is situated on pristine terrain surrounded by some of the best land conservation in the region. Inspired by the Mojave Desert breathtaking vistas, clear sky, and unique boulder formations, Malek Alqadi envisioned an Off-Grid architectural collective of elements that explores the metamorphosis of the original Folly Prototype. Malek has designed every aspect of the property to promote self-reflection and provide guests with a peaceful escape.
