A multi-speaker majlis, multilingual technical environment and rooftop hospitality space designed around dialogue at the Abrahamic Family House.

On 4 February 2024, the Human Fraternity Majlis marked the fifth anniversary of the Document on Human Fraternity at the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi.


Government officials, international dignitaries and VVIP guests gathered at a venue shaped by the presence of three places of worship. Evolution’s creative task was to build on that setting and create an environment where discussion, multilingual communication and hospitality supported the principles of dialogue and coexistence.


The event was designed around different levels of interaction throughout the programme. Stage design, seating, multilingual translation, private meeting areas and rooftop hospitality created a connected guest journey, supporting formal discussions, smaller conversations and high-level engagement as the occasion progressed.

The Challenge


The main discussion needed to support more than ten speakers and an audience of 200 while maintaining clarity, intimacy and equal visibility for participants. Multilingual translation requirements added another layer of complexity, making accessibility an integral part of the event experience rather than a separate technical function.


The guest journey also extended beyond the main majlis setting. VVIP waiting and meeting areas required privacy and comfort, while the post-event rooftop experience needed to feel connected to the wider programme and architecture without replicating the formality of the discussion space.

The Solution


Evolution designed the event concept and all branding artwork as one cohesive identity. A complete lobby fit-out introduced the programme through branded elements before guests reached the main discussion space and speaker area.


The stage was designed around a conversational format, allowing multiple speakers to participate within an open and balanced setting. Audio systems for 200 attendees, support for more than ten simultaneous speakers and translation booths created a clear multilingual discussion environment that enabled all participants to engage equally.


A private meeting environment and waiting room provided VVIP guests with a discreet setting for high-level interaction. Custom furniture and finishes were selected to complement the Abrahamic Family House, creating a considered temporary environment that respected the significance of the venue.


On the rooftop, catering and lounge areas extended the programme into a more informal setting. Views towards the mosque, church and synagogue reinforced the connection between the event’s message and the unique architectural context surrounding it.
