A unique journey through ceremonial spaces

Incorporating nature into our design process has been paramount. From the outset, we found inspiration in the textures and materials native to the site, guiding us to craft organic structures that seamlessly blend with the environment. Our approach draws deeply from the rich tapestry of local materials and the vibrant spirit of village communities, ensuring that our designs not only harmonize with their surroundings but also resonate with the island's essence.

By adapting to the resources the island provides, we foster sustainability and create spaces that feel like a natural extension of the landscape.

Site Analysis

Knowing the different elevations of the plot of land we can understand how sunlight enters and brings different opportunities and constraints.

Through a water flow analysis we can determine how water behaves and gathers. These water clusters give us a hint of how we can use water to our advantage.

Flora & Fauna

The vegetation and animal diversity help us describe our landscape.

From the arrival to the beach, these elements set different profiles for the site to develop interesting opportunities.

Sun & Wind

It's important to understand our climate.

All our cabins take advantage of our front beach winds and give shelter for sun and rain in unique ways.
