NATURE From tidal patterns and wave-carved shores to native seashells and palm fronds, nature inspires the building and its gently curving form.

SEA

VESSELS

The design draws inspiration from the marina’s elegant vessels, from the yachts’ sleek hulls to the sailboats’ tall masts and billowing sails. A subtle counterpoint of height, movement and verticality complements the marina’s existing architectural language.

The building is delicately positioned to maximize views of the surrounding landscape. Curved walls are carefully sculpted to frame views of the ocean and surrounding greenery while also providing privacy from the adjacent buildings.

MASS

Élan’s footprint curves gently to optimize and embrace its fan-shaped site, a premier location on the Albany Marina.

2

SPLIT & SHIFT

The building mass is split into two proportionate volumes and shifted along the east-west direction to provide privacy between units and maximize lateral views while breaking down the overall bulk of the building.

SLICE

The staggered masses are further separated by a wall of glass, reinforcing the profile of the two halves.

SCULPT

The main structural walls of the building are sculpted into sweeping organic shapes, eliminating hard edges and creating a dynamic expression that flows outward from the interior.

5

VERTICALITY

The main walls are emphasized on the exterior of the building, creating continuous vertical elements that interrupt the surrounding horizontal language.

WATER FEATURES

The private pools are oriented perpendicularly to the terraces, providing a connection from the interior spaces outward toward the ocean.

EXTERIORS

Nestled among Albany’s architectural masterpieces, Élan reaches skyward, providing a soaring counterpoint to the marina’s horizontal design vernacular. Like a luxury schooner sailing through the waves, the building’s vertical masts frame its stunning vistas while creating an atmosphere of unparalleled privacy and serenity. At its base, a series of sculpted fins create an additional layer of privacy on the marina front.

LUXURY

The tones and textures of the Bahamian coast inspire luxurious interiors for an Albany experience like no other. Unexpected forms meet natural materials to dramatic effect - the lobby’s carved, organic ceiling is set with tuliped columns awash in soft natural light, and an undulating rammed-sand feature wall stands in contrast to a series of integrated fins. Travertine floors feature custom metal inlay, designed to draw the eye across the space and create a sense of dynamic movement.
