Abstract

In order to generate and maintain the ambiance of a resort, Esther created an exciting tropical atmosphere using a blend of large scale landscape, a lush courtyard, and structures arranged in an axial composition. Due to the staggered composition, an attractive perspective view of the lodge units is offered for guests as they enter the site. Esther’s design also eliminates potentially dismal perspectives from all lodge units by creating views to the central sculptural courtyard (inward looking) and to more expansive views across MARDI green fields (outward looking). The lodge units sit on a plateau evoking a processional route celebrating a transformation of sensuality accentuated by the heat and the humidity. However, the therapy centre is placed perpendicular to the overall scheme, creating an anomaly in the site planning.
