Coromandel Boutique Hotel - developing an authentic language for design

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the question of intervening in a beautiful and untouched landscape, and the steps to ensure authenticity in design through the development of a lexicon of spatial experiences and forms, revealing parts of the landscape through a process of pruning and rehabilitation, and the application of spatial moments that convey concepts of the landscape, all within a masterplan that respects the heritage of existing axes but is designed for the new programmes on site.
