A shadow analysis leads to a form that keeps most windows in shade and the pool deck in shade as well through most of the year. Projecting slabs are articulated to shape the form. No extra cladding or ornament is wasted on the building.

The interior design gives each space its narrative - a simple lobby that has a chic energy, restaurants that have specific character, soft and warm feeling spa and rooms. An ornate ball room is located in the top floor. The decor is restrained but articulate.
