THE SENSES Patterns & light shading & play of light private outdoors
Patterns & light 1. Patterns
can induce the notions and
subtleties of rhythm in a
space.

artwork, especially in the
spaces of movement and circulation placed strategically can create the sense of museum showcasing obsessions of the ancestors

shading & play of light 1. The PLAY of light is where the poetry lies. It is the ephemeral. Light can be a great stimulant to the overall effect of a space. It responds to material with great dynamism. 2. Here, different materials produce various interesting patterns. Walls and floors and ceilings participate in the play of light. Light engages these elements at different intensities
depending on the time of the day. 3. Trees and other elements in nature are also very crucial to the game. The sunlight passing through trees swaying in the breeze reflects the
dimension of time, instantly creating a
connection with the past.

understand that
Luxury
and the need
for privacy go hand-in-hand.
We
like to
think of spaces as a reminder of the guests
own homes. 3. The control over sound and visual privacy is a theme that we can integrate into the architecture of the resort.
We
use different
materials to act in favour of various levels of acoustical as well visual screening.
