This boutique resort on the Bodrum coast consists of a hotel, 13 houses, a health spa and restaurants, and support facilities. The design was generated using mathematical software to treat the terrain as an elastic malleable layer and then manipulate building forms upon it according to their functions. Different building typologies for private and public areas define heterogeneous zones, which are emphasised by a diverse material palette. This palette of natural stone, stucco and Marmorino also creates visual and tactile richness. A timber pier and organic steel sunshades help to synthesise landscape and architecture.
