Jamaica

JWT was tasked with proposing a new vision for an aging all inclusive resort located in Jamaica. Converting an aging 1970’s resort where the maximum building heights are limited to the height of the nearest coconut palm is no easy feat, yet we created a new life to an old and dated facility. The design is inspired by some of the world’s most beautiful hotels, and includes a series of roof top pools, bars and “chill spaces”. A small formal lawn flanked by shops and tall palms creates a spine anchored by pools, conversation pits, waterfalls and stone walls and arches. Going all out on creativity we were tasked with being as imaginative as possible.  Are approach to this project was to create an invisible line between the indoors and outdoors where the distinction between landscape architecture and architecture is not possible to discern.
