Hotel and Resort Design

A new paradigm in international tourism has been established through the growing trend of holistic hotel and resort design, according to leading industry architects, interior designers, and sustainable tourism consultants. This view promotes a holistic development system integrating body, mind and spirit to create balanced, self-renewing and sustainable tourism developments. We focus on three key elements of a good hotel and resort design.

1. Overall Sustainability

Ensuring the strategic long-term thinking and planning of tourism projects, so that they protect the environment as well as local cultures and communities. Benefits of this process include cost-savings through reduced energy costs, higher property values, greater worker productivity, and easier access to necessary permits.

2. Regenerative Design System

A design system that allows tourism projects to become part of their natural and cultural environments, by using local resources, and creating systems that continue to evolve and self-replicate. The relationship between man, building and the environment, combined with the natural cycles of the area, is key, along with the historic and cultural preservation of the site.

3. Sensitive Interior Design

Interior designs reflect the natural beauty of the surroundings using exquisite materials such as raw silks, natural linens and wool, and through colour, texture and sensitive lighting. Holistic designers creatively blend colour, harmony, balance, proportion and style, resulting in a unique environment with a great sense of ‘place’. Lighting is designed to reduce energy consumption, by maximising natural light and using low-energy lamps.
