Project Description
The concept behind the function of the resort is inspired by the changing landscape of contemporary, multi¬tasking leisure travelers with a“24/7 lifestyle” seamlessly merging personal and professional activities. It achieves this by offering a balanced mix of spacious, comfortable and functional guestrooms along with efficient and concise facilities.
Limited service does not mean limited experience. The ground floor of the entrance building is dedicated to guest services and the all-day dining restaurant. These all spill out on to the terraced swimming pool gardens that link the three building blocks. The gym and meeting rooms also front onto this oasis style space that is the main focus for the majority of the guest rooms.
The most striking innovation to the architecture is the ziggurat façade. This has been achieved by handing each floor above each other so that the balconies and the “Cozy Corners” are on opposite sides from the floor below or above. The challenge was to make sure the service ducts and the structure all lined through. The added benefit of this configuration is that it provides inter-balcony privacy that is often a problem for tropical resort hotels.
