On one of the leading luxury resort destinations in the world, the Maldives. Yabu Pushelberg designed 32 Water Villas, resembling the hull of an inverted dhoni, a traditional islands fishing boat. Splaying out from the beach into the lagoon, significantly separated to ensure intimacy and space for guests, the one- and two-floor bungalows include private plunge pools just off the view deck and public spaces.

​

Similarly to the shapes of the Villa, the shapes of the public spaces imitated the look of the dhoni. In this design, the rendering illustrates a view of the public library in the resort.

I was involved in space design, creating the render scenes, choosing and applying the finishes, choosing the Furniture, and modeling all the details.
