resort. Slightly suggestive curves in the exterior walls hint at what's inside.
Using curvy forms throughout the public spaces creates a visual reminder
of the property's playful side. The lobby's columns flare out at the top, merging
into the sweep of the ceiling. Wavy backlit panels create an organic shape in
the ceiling (and blur the line between wall and ceiling). A circular entry door
into the resort's Japanese restaurant has the slightly naughty air of a peephole.
A vaulted chocolate-toned ceiling in the SHE aphrodisiac restaurant picks up
the space's dark tones, capping it off with a seductive richness.
For the guest rooms, Rashid turns to more geometric architecture to offset
the softness of the beds and sofas. Exterior glass window walls in the guest
rooms tick the "exhibitionist" box, while a semitransparent glass screen offers
guests a hint of privacy between bedroom and seating area.
When it comes to materials, sexiness means getting more inventive-figuring
out how to carve sensuous spaces out of hard-edged building blocks. "The
modern design vernacular is digital," says Rashid. In other words, these resorts
won't automatically be havens for artisanal wood pieces or organic linens.
What makes glass, plastic and metal sensual? Finding fresh ways to manipulate those elements into sinuous, off-kilter surfaces. For example, molded walls in
SHE work as a kaleidoscopic art piece, producing intentionally warped reflections of the spiky golden lights. Lights in the guest rooms resemble slender flower
stems. Swirling art pieces offer another technique for softening the spaces.
Whether the look is sci-fi or streamlined, any designer taking on an RFP for
one of the latest adults-only resorts needs to leave any inhibitions at their
(office) door. These spaces call for full-frontal drama (including the image of a
nude figure that will span the bottom of Temptation's Sexy Pool).
"I think you'll be shocked when you move through the spaces," says Rashid.
5
5 Citrus colors create asymmetric
focal points in the lobby. A monochrome floor grounds the space,
but the abstract pattern makes it
anything but monotonous.
6 Simple chairs and
tables create a quiet
backdrop for statement
walls, including a
peephole-like cutout.
