Our Scope
Environmental consultingArchitectureDesign-build deliveryLandscape
Dune Pavilion is a study in restraint. Its organic plan follows the contour of the dunes, keeping the roofline below the canopy and the footprint off the fragile shoreline.
Hand-troweled chukum plaster, reclaimed tropical hardwoods, and a still reflection pool create a calm, tactile sanctuary at the edge of the Caribbean.
Highlights
- Elevated footings that let the dunes migrate naturally
- Traditional chukum plaster finishes
- Off-grid solar and battery systems
- Reflection pool framing the sunrise
