Concept Title, “Tidal Sanctuary”
A single gesture threads through the pavilion: water. It begins as a mirrored blade surrounding an island with a fireplace lounge, widens into a crystalline pool, and dissolves into a lush, moss-claded courtyard/passageway. Everywhere it goes, the architecture follows, stepping, hovering, or folding around its edge,so that living, dining and lounging are experienced as islands in a calm, blue field. The result is a “resort-grade micro-landscape” where wellness, entertaining and everyday life merge.
Cultural Resonance
The design concept blends three hospitality lineages; the welcoming rhythm of the majlis, the restorative ritual of a Nordic sauna retreat, and the open-air serenity of a Balinese bale, distilled into a single, understated architectural language. Global in reference yet deeply private in experience, it is tailored to the client’s desire for retreat without leaving home, offering a world-class sanctuary.
“Tidal Sanctuary” channels the restorative pulse of water into an interior of cultivated hush, proof that true wellness begins when architecture learns to breathe.
