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.
