The architecture seeks to provide a refreshing variety of experiences by enhancing views, sounds and smells to stimulate the senses. Restful settings instill calm and quiet, while the unexpected design elements woven into the architecture reward the curious eye and nurture the spirit. Throughout the property the goal was to make minimal impact on the natural environment and maximize the benefits to human health and well-being.
