ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 6

CONCEPT:
NESTLED AMIDST LUSH GREENERY AND FACING A PRISTINE TURQUOISE LAGOON, OUR
RESORT IS A LUXURIOUS ESCAPE DESIGNED WITH SUSTAINABILITY IN MIND. THE
RESORT SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATES WITH THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT,
MINIMIZING ITS FOOTPRINT AND CELEBRATING THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE
TROPICS.

WE USED SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS SUCH AS LOCALLY SOURCED WOOD, BAMBOO,

AND RECYCLED MATERIALS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT THE
CONSTRUCTION. BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO BE ENERGY-EFFICIENT, FEATURING
NATURAL VENTILATION AND AMPLE SUNLIGHT TO REDUCE RELIANCE ON ARTIFICIAL
LIGHTING AND COOLING SYSTEMS. MAXIMIZING WATER CONSERVATION, LOW-FLOW
FIXTURES AND RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEMS MINIMIZE WATER CONSUMPTION.
LUSH LANDSCAPING INCORPORATES NATIVE, DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS THAT
REQUIRE MINIMAL IRRIGATION. WE PROMOTE RENEWABLE ENERGY, SOLAR PANELS
ON ROOFTOPS AND STRATEGICALLY PLACED WIND TURBINES GENERATE CLEAN
ENERGY TO POWER THE RESORT. WE ALSO CONSIDER WASTE MANAGEMENT, A
COMPREHENSIVE RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING PROGRAM THAT DIVERTS WASTE
FROM LANDFILLS. THE RESORT PROMOTES HEALTHY LIVING THROUGH YOGA
PAVILIONS NESTLED AMONGST THE TREES, WALKING PATHS THAT MEANDER
THROUGH THE GARDENS, AND ON-SITE ORGANIC GARDENS THAT PROVIDE FRESH
INGREDIENTS FOR THE RESTAURANTS.

GUESTS ARE IMMERSED IN THE BEAUTY OF THE TROPICS WHILE ENJOYING LUXURIOUS
AMENITIES. BUNGALOWS ARE DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY AND RELAXATION, FEATURING
PRIVATE BALCONIES OR TERRACES OVERLOOKING THE LAGOON. SUSTAINABLE
PRACTICES ARE WOVEN INTO THE GUEST EXPERIENCE, WITH EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS ABOUT THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM AND OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN
CONSERVATION EFFORTS. WE OFFERS GUESTS AN UNFORGETTABLE TROPICAL
EXPERIENCE WHILE PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
THE COCONUT PALM BOASTS A SIMPLE YET ELEGANT FORM. ITS SOLITARY,
UNBRANCHED TRUNK RISES TALL AND SLENDER, REACHING TOWARDS THE SUN. THE
SMOOTH, GRAY BARK GIVES WAY TO A CROWN OF LONG, FEATHERY FRONDS THAT
GRACEFULLY ARCH OUTWARDS. THESE FRONDS, CONSTANTLY RENEWED, UNFURL IN
A SPIRAL PATTERN, CREATING A DYNAMIC SILHOUETTE AGAINST THE SKY. EACH
FROND IS COMPRISED OF NUMEROUS SLENDER LEAFLETS, SWAYING GENTLY IN THE
BREEZE. NESTLED AMONGST THE FRONDS, TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE TRUNK,
CLUSTER THE DISTINCTIVE COCONUT FRUITS - LARGE, BROWN SPHERES WITH A
FIBROUS HUSK. THIS STREAMLINED FORM, WITH ITS FOCUS ON A SINGLE, VERTICAL
AXIS AND RADIATING CROWN, PERFECTLY EMBODIES THE FUNCTIONALITY AND
BEAUTY OF A TROPICAL SURVIVOR.
LEED STRATEGY
SITE SUSTAINABLE- DESIGNERS USED DIFFERENT STRATEGIES
TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON ECOSYSTEMS AND WATER
RESOURCES.

WATER EFFICIENCY- DESIGNERS USED DIFFERENT WAYS TO

REDUCE THE POTABLE WATER CONSUMPTION

ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE- DESIGNERS USED DIFFERENT

INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES TO HAVE A BETTER BUILDING
ENERGY PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS ENERGY STIMULTATIONS
AND MEASUREMENT OF EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS.

MATERIAL RESOURCES- DESIGNERS USED LOCAL MATERIALS

THAT WAS SUSTAINABLE AND TO REDUCE THE WASTE.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY- DESIGNERS USED DIFFERENT

STRATEGIES TO HAVE A BETTER INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND
HAS A ACCESS TO DAYLIGHT AND VIEWS, FOCUSED ON THE
MATERIALS THAT HAS A LOW EMISSION OF VOLATILE
ORGNAIC COMPUNDS, THERMAL COMFORT, AND
PRIOTIRIZATION OF AREAS WITH OURSIDE VIEW.
