Set among sand, sea and rocky terrain, the resort’s Main Building<br />

eliminates physical and visual barriers by forming a relationship<br />

with its surroundings and blurring the distinction between<br />

manipulated and actual topography. The building accommodates<br />

the resort’s main food and beverage outlets, front and<br />

back-of-house areas, and public and leisure facilities. The<br />

building attempts to tackle the resort industry’s largest obstacle,<br />

“how can program adapt to seasonality”? The building’s unique<br />

temporal arrangement of program addresses this obstacle. In<br />

embracing topography, the building experience is intensified by<br />

the different circulation paths, relative to distance and time.<br />
