The Seventh Oasis reinterprets the traditional sukkah through a modular, organic form inspired by the lulav leaf, with each structural unit resembling one of its seven leaflets. Arranged in a spiraling enclosure, the design provides shelter while remaining open to the sky, symbolizing both protection and spiritual openness—a space of reflection and reverence beneath the divine expanse.
Constructed from wood and stretched linen, the structure employs natural materials that connect it to the earth while maintaining an ethereal, lightweight quality. The modular design allows for easy storage and reassembly, making it adaptable and transportable.
Blending tradition with contemporary design, Seventh Oasis offers an intimate yet uplifting space, embodying the essence of the sukkah as both a refuge and a sacred threshold between earth and sky.
