An aerial site precedent showing a pavilion-based resort complex integrated into a terraced hillside through clustered courtyards and low-rise massing.
- What we like about this project
- Central water features weave directly between clustered structures, tying the sprawling layout into a singular watery compound.

- Geometry
- Dispersed cluster of interconnected low-rise pavilion volumes arranged organically around central water bodies and courtyards, stepping down the hillside slope.
- Facade system
- Stucco and textured walls interspersed with dark timber framing and large glazed openings opening to courtyards.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame and concrete hybrid construction supporting pitched slate-like tile roofs.
- Spatial scale
- Resort complex scale; individual pavilions read as human-scaled single-to-two-story volumes grouped into a larger campus.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast natural daylight casting gentle, diffuse shadows across roofs and terrain.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and secluded, blending vernacular roof forms with natural topography.
- Environmental context
- Lush, terraced green mountainside with dense forest canopy and winding access roads framing the resort complex.
- Spatial experience
- The composition unfolds as a village-like compound, where sequential courtyards and covered walkways mediate between dense interior spaces and the surrounding mountainous landscape.
- Composition rhythm
- Scattered pavilion units linked by linear walkways create an irregular yet cohesive cluster rhythm.
