The Ecological Resort is surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay making the watershed a main point of interest for visit. The detail of the Event Space included is to show the magnitude of what sealife can contribute towards an atmosphere drawing more awareness to the Bay.
The design of the Elevator and Stair was to emulate the passage of the sea breezes and the waves of the bay. As the stairs wrap around the elevator shaft, they both serve as a main passage of circulation, carrying guests from the bottom to top of the building.
Attracting guests with scenic views of the Chesapeake Bay, the ecological resort's spa becomes a place of rest and relaxation providing private massage rooms, mud bath and general resting areas with recreational games such as chess.
