The concept behind this project is a mirage. An optical illusion of the most desired object projected by heat, or water. The hotel will be located near the ocean and positioned to appear as if it is rises out of the water. This effect will be achieved trough use of materials, architectural lighting techniques and water features. The interior of the space will reflect local flavor through depiction of architectural elements influenced by history, artwork of local artists, color selection relative to the region, use of local materials.
