Canadians, Michael Henderson and Sandra Matthews had an objective to create a resort with an authentic, mega-scale reproduction of planet earth’s moon, incorporating the world’s largest sphere. MOON are looking to be licensed in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America.…. initial discussions are underway. 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 metres of spectacular next-generation LEED certified built environment.
MOON will reach at least 224 metres above ground level. the sphere diameter will be a minimum of 198 metres. 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.

MOON aims to deliver the critical ‘bridge’ enabling a mass audience to actively and affordably participate in the excitement. $500.00 will provide a 90-minute excursion on MOON’s lunar surface to include exploration of its active lunar colony. MOON will comfortably welcome 10 million annual guests while delivering 2.5 million guests to it’s 4-hectare lunar surface. A 12-month site-specific planning exercise followed by a 48-month build-out will deliver MOON at a US$5 billion project cost. MOON exemplifies the ‘Bilbao effect’. It borrows on the legendary genius and undeniable intellect of fellow canadian visionary, Frank Gehry; then injects a steroidal overdose of grandiose scale and complexity to our next human home; earth’s moon.
