The sanctuary’s external lounge is a serene retreat, featuring timber-framed seating arranged on Torino Crazy Paving. Thoughtful landscaping, including lush greenery and soft lighting, enhances the tranquil atmosphere. On the right, expansive glass doors provide a clear view of the indoor pool, blending the outdoor and aquatic spaces harmoniously. The design encourages relaxation while offering functional connectivity between the sanctuary’s indoor and outdoor amenities, perfectly balancing nature and modern architecture to create a cohesive, peaceful environment.
The sanctuary’s external lounge is designed to offer a harmonious blend of relaxation, connection, and architectural elegance. Arranged on a foundation of Torino Crazy Paving, the lounge’s timber-framed furniture provides a comfortable space for unwinding outdoors. The design seamlessly incorporates elements of the surrounding landscape, with thoughtfully positioned greenery that softens the hardscape and complements the natural palette of the building.
On the right, large glass doors serve as a transparent boundary between the external lounge and the sanctuary’s indoor pool. This connection allows light and reflections from the pool to enrich the outdoor ambiance, creating a fluid dialogue between the two spaces. The glass ensures that visitors can enjoy views of the pool while relaxing outdoors, fostering a sense of unity across the sanctuary’s design.
Strategically placed lighting enhances usability during the evening while highlighting the textures of the paving and greenery. Elevated landscaping elements add dimension to the space, subtly guiding visitors along the pathways that connect the lounge with other areas of the community center. The overall design emphasizes serenity, encouraging residents to pause, unwind, and enjoy the blend of natural and architectural beauty.
This sanctuary lounge encapsulates the project’s vision: to create spaces that foster relaxation, interaction, and a deep connection to nature within a contemporary, thoughtfully designed environment.
