A resort concept in Jambiani: white and timber-clad townhouses with steep gables set around a free-form lagoon pool with palm islands, water slides and a swim-up bar, aimed at short-term rental investors.

The masterplan is built around water. Two rows of townhouses face each other across a long, free-form lagoon pool, so nearly every unit opens onto it. Inside the lagoon are palm islands, a swim-up bar under a thatched roof and water slides, with a separate round children's pool and playground alongside. The clubhouse, parking and entrance are pushed to the edge of the site, which keeps the interior pedestrian.

The architecture plays two themes against each other: white rendered houses with steep gable roofs and houses wrapped in vertical timber slats. Together they create a recognisable saw-tooth skyline. Paths are paved in coloured tiles and lined with lit timber arches that repeat the gable profile. The pool bar sits under a thatched roof in the local tradition on a tree-like column, and the clubhouse is shaded by timber screens.

The format is designed for buyers who put units into short-term rental: compact footprints, a separate entrance to each house and hotel-grade shared amenities, pool, bar, children's and fitness areas. The strong image works well in listing photos and on booking platforms. The project is at concept stage. TVORZI developed the concept and the architecture of the resort.
