Ningaloo

• Location: Ningaloo, WA

COMPETITION ENTRY – for Proposition, Architectural Review
Our practice participated in an Ideas Competition for an ECO-RESORT in Ningaloo, located in the north west of Western Australia. The project is on a highly sensitive site and aims to devise a way for tourists to come and enjoy the natural beauty of the area without destroying the fragile eco-system of this world renowned area.

Our approach was to disperse different types of accommodation around the site to cater for different needs. The main building is where all of the main accommodation is located, which also include administrative, entertainment and support facilities. Our approach was to collect the main functions into one place to minimise the dispersal of functions around the site. The intention was to have a clear distinction between building and natural environment.
