Once again, like most of other buildings on my blog, this design was decided through a competition, in which Planet 3 Studios won. Reasons leading to their victory in the competition, was because this building provided a unique feature. Panoramic view. The special spiral shape won it's approval, because it provided the ability to observe the beauty of the lush and green that surrounds it at almost 360 degrees.


Although such a building only has one floor, it provides the needed requirement of vacationers. With it's wonderful combination of location and structural design, these factors created the point of inspiration of this remarkable design.


The facilities provided in this resort complete the experience of every vacationer. From it's restaurants and health clubs to it's swimming pools and spas, this monolithic resort has numerous suites, the balconies provide the feature of privacy and unique observatory platforms.


The exterior of this resort, is modelled into horizontal louvers to control the harsh sunny weather. At night, the louvers light up in different colours to create a serene atmosphere and give the impression of floating lanterns.
