Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is ready to become a designer-architect. Pitt is reportedly set to design a five – star, 800 rooms hotel in Dubai. The exact location of the hotel is yet to be announced.
Pitt has teamed up with LA-based architecture firm, GRAFT, to design the five-star “green resort” in Dubai, which has been announced by developers Zabeel Properties earlier this week.
Telegraph reports that the Oscar-nominated star has a long-standing interest in architecture and is currently helping to build 150 homes in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, an area devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
The Dubai project was announced by developers Zabeel Properties, who have appointed LA-based architecture firm Graft to oversee it.
According to Reuters, the yet – to – be- built hotel will add to Zabeel Properties property portfolio which includes residential, commercial and hospitality developments worth around $5 billion.
Dubai, a city of sky scrapers and mega-developments such as man-made islands, is the Gulf’s tourism and trading hub. Its real estate sector has boomed since the United Arab Emirates member allowed foreigners to invest in property in 2002.
Pitt is quoted commenting on his plans regarding this hotel.
“Selecting this development as my first major construction project has been a simple decision. You can expect something that is not only stunning to look at but will also be an incredible attraction to visit or stay at,” Pitt said.
