------ CONCEPT ------
The design process began with a footprint in the sand, an image seemingly unrelated to interior design or architecture. This conceptualized a resort of Moorish and Moroccan architecture and design elements, inspired by the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The four interiors were created in sequential progression, each over a two-week period, allowing for further concept development, exploration, and understanding.

------ LOBBY ------
First the lobby was designed, where a literal interpretation of the image created the shape of a footprint through the bar and fountain. Surrounding this central area, Moorish arches and columns were incorporated to frame and define the reception, lounge spaces, and opening to the courtyard.

Next, the restaurant and bar featured a slatted ceiling, inspired by the dynamic curved lines of the foot muscles. The addition of Moroccan light fixtures cultivated an intimate and exotic atmosphere.
