Mellow Resort
The masterplan of the resort is organized so that the restaurant becomes the filter to enter the property. The pool with the rest of the buildings surrounding it is the main character of the resort, serving as an articulation to generate different outdoor spaces and pathways. In this way, a feeling of spaciousness and privacy is created for the cabanas, and the restaurant & the yoga shala are at the front dominating the views over the pacific ocean.
With the aim of achieving a strong modern architecture that merges with the traditional techniques, clean lines, rhythm, and simplicity based on geometric shapes have been used.
The cabanas are a marriage of beauty and logic, touching the earth lightly there are 5 small independent units hidden in between the trees of the jungle. Due to the tropical climate, The buildings are lifted off the ground so that the air can circulate underneath, maintaining it away from humidity. The extensive corrugated iron roof ensures protection from the sun and rain.
