MOON Will Incorporate The World’s Largest Sphere

Michael R. Henderson & Sandra G. Matthews had an objective to develop a resort with an authentic, mega-scale reproduction of planet earth’s moon, incorporating the world’s largest sphere. MOON will be licensed in four global locations; asia, mena, europe and north america. The project touches on hospitality, entertainment, education, attractions, the environment, technology, and space tourism. with a focus on architecture, engineering, design, and art, MOON will deliver a contemporary, futuristic, and unique destination resort, encompassing 515,000 square meters of spectacular next-generation leed certified built environment.

MOON will reach at least 224 meters above ground level. the sphere diameter will be a minimum of 198 meters. precise site-specific dimensions will adhere to regional airspace and locally mandated height restrictions which may permit a taller and wider superstructure. MOON incorporates a true sphere as opposed to many buildings which claim to be spheres when in reality they have a dome or partial dome structures.
