Our aims were site specificity, sustainability and the use of life-friendly materials in order to create buildings which are locally attuned and responsive structures. Part of the site is classified as NATURA, a Protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Through the use of the natural model of Posidonia Oceanica and through the mimicking of details of its morphology and biological processes we attempted to emulate nature’s strategies and develop ideas and solutions for a prototype sustainable tourist settlement. The leaves of P.O. are ribbon like and are arranged in groups. Subsurface rhizomes and roots provide stability in the sand it occupies.

The design of the units and the structure of the master plan underline the importance of the underwater meadows of Posidonia Oceanica, a species of sea grass which is considered to be of high importance to the environmental conservation of the region.

The buildings are made out of western cedar and rammed earth.

Emphasis is given to the provision to visitors of all the main ‘attractions’ of camping, co modified all forms of human nature interaction, privileged physical and spiritual comfort & personal but also offer the amenities of a luxury settlement.
