Circular jungle resort

Self-contained ecological sanctuary

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Nestled deep within a dense tropical forest, this circular jungle resort is envisioned as a self-contained ecological sanctuary, where architecture dissolves into nature. Spread across a large forest clearing, the project is organized into concentric rings of villas, landscape terraces, and a central water-focused social core.

Key Program Elements:

  • 30–40 private forest villas with plunge pools
  • Central lagoon-style swimming pool & clubhouse
  • Arrival drop-off pavilion & reception court
  • Layered landscape rings with walking trails

The design prioritizes privacy, immersion, and ecological sensitivity, creating a resort that feels both expansive and intimate.
