Outdoor - Garden
This garden resort outdoor area is designed to support both relaxation and event activities in a natural and elegant way. With a total area of around 200 sqm, the space is organized to maintain a balance between open lawn and functional zones. The existing 30 sqm gazebo becomes a central feature, acting as a flexible space for small gatherings, lounge seating, or even a focal point during events. The surrounding green lawn is kept open to accommodate banquet setups, buffet stations, or temporary seating arrangements, allowing the space to adapt easily depending on the occasion. The connection to the adjacent pool area is also carefully considered, ensuring smooth circulation between spaces so guests can move comfortably during events.
The design keeps the natural character of the garden while subtly enhancing its usability. Existing trees are preserved to provide shade and create a pleasant atmosphere, while additional landscape elements such as low shrubs and soft planting borders help define zones without making the space feel crowded. Pathways are gently introduced using stepping stones or natural paving, guiding guests from the pool area to the gazebo and across the lawn. Lighting plays an important role, with warm ambient lights added along pathways, trees, and the gazebo to create a cozy and inviting mood, especially for evening events. The material palette remains consistent with the resort style, using natural textures that blend well with the surroundings.
Overall, this outdoor area is designed to be flexible, functional, and visually appealing. It can easily transform from a peaceful garden during the day into an active event space for banquets and buffet gatherings. The open layout ensures that large groups can be accommodated without losing the sense of comfort and openness. At the same time, the presence of greenery and natural elements keeps the atmosphere relaxed and refreshing. By combining simplicity with thoughtful planning, the design creates a seamless extension of the pool area while maintaining a strong connection to nature.
