Resort Amenities:
The resort's principal facilities are in the center island hub, near the arrival jetties and palm-
fringed beach areas:
The Dolphin Pool - A trademark freeform infinity pool with a swim-up bar that resembles a
school of dolphins emerging from the sea.
Baker's Kitchen - In addition to the main show kitchen, this area provides participatory
cooking experiences. A wine tasting room is nearby, as are private eating cabanas.
Spa & Fitness - Set among lush vegetation, the spa has glass-walled treatment villas,
meditation gardens, and an open-air yoga pavilion.
Kids Club - This colorful bamboo structure features indoor and outdoor play areas, as well as a
children's pool.

A network of wood-lined walkways connects the facilities, winding through reflected ponds
and tropical landscaping.

Sustainability Initiatives:
The architecture has integrated comprehensive sustainability techniques since the early
planning stages:
Site planning entails preserving the island's natural environment by clustering development
on a small area to reduce the influence on vulnerable marine habitats.
Materials - Use fast renewable materials such as bamboo and reclaimed timber. Traditional
thatched roofs provide natural insulation.
Solar panels fitted into buildings and landscaping generate renewable energy. The smart
building management system optimizes energy consumption.
Water - A reverse osmosis desalination facility will supply freshwater resources. Gray water
recycling and rainfall reduces water demand.
Construction - Using prefabricated modular building methods and off-site construction to
reduce on-site waste.

INFERENCES:
Contextual and Climatic Response.
The resort design responds sensitively to its island location and tropical climate by making
extensive use of natural materials, employing passive cooling technologies, and seamlessly
merging the architectural forms into the landscape and surrounding waterways.
Blurring of Indoor/Outdoor Boundaries

Large, glass openings, open-air living spaces, and seamless transitions between built and
landscape features effectively blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor areas, creating
a deep connection to nature.

Diverse and iconic amenities.
Unique amenities like as the freeform "dolphin" pool, display kitchens, glass-walled spa
villas, and kids club treehouses provide guests with experiences that go beyond the norm.
These landmark locations provide a great brand.
