Waterfront Retreat

A small boutique hospitality property where guest circulation, pool and shoreline access were planned as one continuous sequence.

Infinity pool with shaded daybeds overlooking the ocean at dusk.

The Site

A narrow coastal site where guest movement between rooms, pool and shoreline needed to work without crossing service areas.

The Landscape

Shaded daybeds, planting and water are arranged along a single route from arrival to shoreline, so the landscape does the work of orientation.

The Integration

Pool filtration, deck drainage and exterior lighting were coordinated with the landscape plan so equipment and services stay out of sight and out of the experience.

The Finished Environment

Guests move from arrival to water's edge along one considered sequence, with the pool terrace as its midpoint rather than its destination.
