Co.01 - SCORE
(47.800)
Holey-moley am I ever speechless for your entry! I was really unprepared for what to expect in your design, and after closer inspection I am just amazed. I really adore all the foliage and the "elite" atmosphere that you provide to your resort, which really suits the requirements for this round, and it really looks like a place that I would want to visit. Of course I would probably not be able to afford it though. I really enjoy the use of all the pool tiles along with the private cabanas, as well as the beach-access behind the lot and the sunbathing equipment. The only sort of issue I could find was that there was not an inclusion of a pool bar or public drinks-area of any sort, however I decided to not dock you points as your resort is more directed towards the private lifestyle of each of the huts, and it seems that room service is a given. This is the same for privacy guarantee which you succeed at providing so well, in my opinion. I am glad that you have taken everybody and everything, including the 'local' climate, into consideration as you provide an amazing and unique design which is really an overall "wow" for me!
I am really impressed by your entry for this round, as it really suits your idea of an adults-only resort, and it provides such a sense of relaxation where I can imagine anybody say "I am in dire need of this vacation!". To reiterate, you did a stupendous job designing a Mediterranean-themed hotel, as all the amenities and services included in this hotel for the guests are to die for. My favourite part of your hotel by far is the inclusion of that pool-garden fountain at the rear of your building, as I can see the amount of effort you have put into it and it has definitely payed off in my opinion. I can really tell that you have spent a lot of time designing the perfect hotel, especially since I can not find any issues with it, I love all of the greenery, the layout, as well as the little touches you have done to make it the resort of everyone's dreams. The only minor concern I has was about your lobby area feeling rather empty, however it does not catch my attention since my eye is drawn elsewhere, so it's not huge at any chance. I honestly wish that this hotel existed in real life, since it would constantly be the talk and showcased all over social media!

[Section N has been revised to properly reflect the presences of smoke alarms in all guest rooms.]
Very interesting entry, since your choice to include a boardwalk is a very unique idea that sets your design apart from the rest. I really like the Bed&Breakfast feel that your design showcases pretty well, since I enjoy all of the colonial and well-aged furnishing touches as they create a unique sort of atmosphere. My only issue with your entry was about your stacked columns to your rear of the building, since I know that BG doesn't provide the two-floor columns, though I feel that you could have probably filled in those gaps in between somehow, possibly through the extension of the rear balcony. I really appreciate the inclusion of the two types of pool, as swimming under the boardwalk is obviously a liability for your hotel, as well as the greenery surrounding the building and the flower and fountain arrangement out front. I still feel like you could have added a few shrubs out front around the driveway, however I am not docking you points for not doing so. Overall, I like the impression that this hotel gives me, yet it is not one of my favourites from your company, but it is still an impressive entry and I feel that it suits this round's requirements quite well, as I know clients will still be drawn here.
[Section C has been revised to properly reflect the single beds counting as two beds being 1 people to sleep per bed = 2 people to sleep.]
[Section N has been revised to properly reflect the lack of smoke alarms in the guest rooms.]
Very interesting design choice, it reminds me immensely of the architecture of South Beach in Miami, if that's where you drew your inspiration from. You have done an excellent job at creating an atmosphere which feels as if from the past! I love the colour palette, which is reflected throughout your entire with your furniture choices as they are tied to the era in spirit. I somewhat enjoy your hotel rooms designed to suit the 'generic' idea of hotel rooms, and I strongly agree with your inquiry to why they're outside in basically all normal hotel rooms. I really like the dance and drinks area at the top of your building, and I should mention that I also appreciate your attempt to have diamonds/squares incorporated throughout the entire building. Honestly, my only issues are that I felt that you could have maybe added a bit more art or something to the second and third floor halls as they feel quite bare, and I also noticed that you had no diving board or pools provided in the back for your pool. I also felt that you could have added just a little bit more greenery, seriously just like another one of those tree and plants arrangement that you already did, however your amazing facade and floor plan swayed me in another direction. I think this is still my favourite entry for this round, possibly even this competition, even though it has a few faults though I am certain they were not intentional, and I know it suits the requirements well, you did an excellent job.
This is a very interesting, unique and impressive design, as I can see the amount of effort you put into it. I really like its U-shaped layout along with the exterior greenery, which I feel give the impression that your building's focus is to draw people into it and explore what it has to offer. I really like your entire first floor, including the plan's layout, as I feel that it really matches the theme that you're going for and I like the warm and maroon colour-tones throughout, as they are incorporated into the environment you create for your building. My only issue there is those two bright-red double-doors, to the rear which stand out amongst the darker, maroon windows and other doors. I strongly feel that you should have made the effort to use the same doors, like those maroon glass double-doors to your check-in and sitting area, where possible on the exterior or at least doors of the same colour, which I would have less a problem with, as the red ones just don't work with the theme that you're going for. This feeling continues onto the second floor, where all of your guest rooms just don't work. By that I mean that your choice to do colours, in my opinion, was not beneficial at all since it does not tie in at all with the theme you were going for on your exterior and first floor, I strongly suggest using a choice of furniture that matches what you have done so far as it would have had a much better outcome. I also am not a big fan of those large rooms, as I think you could have still partitioned them in such a manner to give the same effect, I really recommend looking at all the other contestants' entries and see how their rooms all match their overall hotel theme. I think that if you just changed a few things, it could have been even more better than it already is, as you seem to suit the requirements well.
I am glad that you decided once again to use your Veronaville-esque inspiration, and I am glad that you honoured your conditions throughout this competition. I honestly think you should have reduced the number of your floors by one, as your entry appears as if it's suffering from too much excess-space. I say this since it seems that many your rooms appear overly massive, and the inclusion of two bathrooms to each of your rooms makes no sense either. I strongly suggest viewing other contestants' entries as I think your hotel is lacking of any sort of theme, and does not have the best suitable arrangement. I have the least amount of problem with your first floor, as it seems the best planned, and I like the exterior yard and the trees you provided. I still feel that you could have included some amenities to the exterior of the building, along with some shrubs, as I feel like you could have had more to do in that backyard of yours. Although your design has a few flaws, and your stereo in your disco seems to be turned against the wall though I assume that's just a simple error and won't dock you for that, I still think that you made your best attempt at fulfilling this round's requirements, however I must stress that you should make sure your future designs are to the demand of your clients to your best ability.
Very impressive build and I think this is an amazing and unique idea of a resort, as well as it was executed stupendously. I think you created an incredibly moroccan-like atmosphere throughout your entire design, since every aspect works perfectly with one another. I still feel though that your entry was lacking of a few finishing touches that could have made it even better, like a bit more wall decorations in the halls of your resort. Like I was expecting at least one wall tapestry. I really like the inclusion of those exotic gardens, however I think that you could have also made the effort to change the pool walls and floors to match the tile scheme/colours of the rest of your hotel. I know it's more money, yet I think it would be much more effective at delivering your overall image, since this sort of architecture is known for its fantabulous mosaic-tile fountains. The actually only building flaw I noticed was that you had a dining area, yet no kitchen or serving table so I question the realism there. I also think you could have transferred some of that greenery to the second and third floors of your hotel, yet that's not as big of a concern in my opinion as you still succeeded in an intuitive manner for this round.
This is really a "wow" entry for me, even though I don't feel that it ideally suits the requirements for this round. The reason why I say this, is that even though you included all of these amenities, along with the 'family-friendly' environment, your design feels more targeted towards the middle-class rather than the wealthier people. However, It still seems that these chalets would be quite pricey, so I am settling to think of it as upper-middle class. Otherwise than that, there is not a single thing wrong with this build as I adore every aspect for it, and I think it caters to your clientele quite well. I think your choice of colours really benefits the appearance of your resort, along with the stone tile arrangement and the additional playground, which really shows all of the little touches you incorporated into your design. I really enjoy that you attempted to fill spaces in a good manner, as I was given the feeling that it wasn't too bare yet not too crowded at the same time. Indeed an overall outstanding job, and deserving of reward nonetheless.

As the only contestant who decided to give their hotel more than 4 rooms, with a total of 5, you clearly show some desire to go above and beyond the expectations for this round. Which is demonstrated quite perfectly to me by your front façade, which I absolutely adore! I think you did an excellent job at keeping the consistency in all of your rooms' furnishings and they tied to the theme quite well. I really enjoy the greenery and garden space to the rear of your building as it really showcases multiple uses of all of your property. I was not a big fan of the red-white change of your exterior walls, and I have a similar feeling with your interior foyer as I would suggest sticking to two walls that change, not three, as I would suggest you choose between the fully-paneled wall, or the half-paneled with blue paint to go with the granite. I still liked those walls, I just felt as if it was too much to be honest. I really get the impression as if this was a historic mansion converted to a hotel, as it showcases so many fabulous qualities of architecture quite well. I think your company has outdid itself for this round, and it is one of my favourite entries in this round as well.
