Climate control: atkins’ architects and building services engineers had to recreate habitats as extreme as those found in the 2,000m fog-capped mountains of dhofar, in
the south, with their unique “Khareef” cloud climate, to the dry hot gravel deserts of the interior. This meant designing a number of huge glass enclosures totalling over
2.5 hectares in area, within which the habitats and climates could be replicated, using data gathered during field trips by atkins’ ecologists and landscape architects,
supported by the Royal Botanic garden edinburgh, and local Omani experts.
