SUSTAINABLE RESORT CARIBBEAN

Working with renowned architect Lee Stone,

we were asked by a Caribbean developer to

consider resort sustainability from a fresh angle.

This client wants to break from predictable

colonial mansions to an exciting but practical

hotel which incorporates the best in

sustainability and energy efficiency, aimed at

LEED Platinum compliance standards.

We explored the modern organic form and

devised a system of environmentally and

financially efficient modular techniques to create

a resort that breaks the mold of stereotypical

design using fluid and dynamic sculptural forms

creating unique indoor and outdoor spaces.

To maximize environmental efficiency the

structures are designed to capture rain water

and utilize latest photovoltaic and solar-thermal

technology in combination with ground source

heat pumps and geothermal systems..
