Project designed for Blue Marlin Development on the island south of Haiti Isle a Vache. The project as a fundamental premise proposes a development of a low density ecological community, preserving existing lagoons and mangroves in the area, mitigating environmental impacts through a selection of materials and construction systems appropriate to the topography and soil.
Our firm designed a master plan respectful of the sensitive areas of the island’s ecosystem, adapted to the topography of the land and always looking for a simple and low impact solution.
The project to be financed by the Haitian Government will be implemented in four fundamental stages:
- The first stage will include all the roads and utilities infrastructure for the project as well as a small dock that will be used for the import and transport of materials and personnel to the island. In this stage the laboratory of the marine reserve and natural resources of the island will be built.
- The second stage includes the construction of the beach club and 36 one and two bedroom bungalows on the main beach. These buildings would be designed on piles of wood and concrete to reduce the footprint of the buildings on the land and allow raise the levels of floors in prevention of high tides by hurricanes and storms. The wooden structures with light roof and roofs with solar panels complete the environmental sustainability approach for this stage.
- The third stage includes the construction of a spa in one of the lagoons with the structure of stilt-like piles and walkways over water in wood. In this stage there will be 24 bungalows on the sea in one of the coves to the west of the beach club.
- The fourth and final stage included a development of villas and recreational areas for outdoor sports activities such as cycle routes, equestrian routes, etc.
