Stepping stones on a gravel path leading to a covered outdoor seating area surrounded by lush green tropical plants.

What makes this project truly special is the intimate oasis designed by PHIBRA on the suite’s terrace. The design features an outdoor shower integrated with an existing tree and a bathtub surrounded by a subtle “water path”, creating a flowing sequence through volumes of varying scales. This element not only defines the space but also produces a distinctive, soothing sound, transforming the terrace into a unique sensory experience of relaxation and connection with nature.
