Summary:
A small coastal retreat of guest pavilions, breezeways, and shaded decks designed around sea wind, coral stone, and outdoor living.

Chapters:
1. BREEZE - Guest pavilions are staggered to catch the monsoon breeze while protecting privacy between rooms.
2. DECK - A continuous timber deck connects pool, dining, and lounge spaces without closing them off from the landscape.
3. MATERIAL - Coral stone, lime plaster, and woven screens give the retreat a quiet coastal texture with low maintenance demands.
