- Structural guess
- Post-tensioned concrete flat slab construction with steel and timber detailing for balconies and pergolas.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale resort or hospitality development, approximately 4 to 5 stories in height, harmonizing with the surrounding low-rise town scale.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sun casting gentle shadows across green rooftops and dark facade frames, with expansive natural daylight reflecting off the water.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, high-end Mediterranean resort atmosphere blending manicured nature with clean modern volumes.
- Environmental context
- Lush hillside and dense tree canopy surrounding the site, situated right beside a large lake with an adjacent historic town.
