The Ireo Riverfront Hospitality Development is in the estuary of the Mochemaad River, a protected natural setting situated to the north of Goa. Our approach is to work from a territorial scale, a transposed nature evoking the local landscape, its spirit, and its physical coherence. In order to capture and recreate the unique character of the place, the Ireo Riverfront Hospitality Development will be located at the heart of the estuary in a quay-like arrangement, offering a new horizon line. The site, by its size and its location, is an invitation to refer to the geographic scale. The components from nature - the estuary, the hilly landscape - are real and powerful props. The goal is to attain the dimensions of nature: the game consists of playing with the reference of the geographical context arises from complete artifice. The ensemble derives from forms in nature that are not copied or brought back, but transposed and enhanced.
