PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This unique development is set within natural forests traditionally used for hunting. The goal was to create a tranquil and luxurious resort community for those seeking to connect with nature. The site features a natural ravine that has been transformed into a man-made lake, surrounded by smaller islands to foster a sense of community living. At the heart of the development is an 80-key resort hotel, encircled by one- and two-bedroom chalets, all with views of the lake and direct road access.
The lake serves as the focal point of the master plan, with the surrounding islands designed to promote a cohesive and communal atmosphere. Rustic materials and an earthy color palette have been intentionally used to blend the community seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The design style of the development seems to reflect a harmonious blend of rustic, natural, and contemporary resort aesthetics.
The design emphasizes the use of natural, rustic materials such as wood, stone, and other locally sourced elements. These materials are selected to blend seamlessly with the surrounding forest environment, enhancing the feeling of being connected to nature. The color scheme likely includes neutral, earthy tones such as browns, greens, beiges, and greys, which mirror the natural landscape. These colors help maintain a calm and serene atmosphere, aligning with the overall goal of creating a peaceful retreat.
