INTRODUCTI
Resort is a place to spent holiday for relaxation and recreation so that, one can give dynamism to their leisure time. Oxfords
dictionary defines resort as place that is frequented for holidays or recreation or for a particular purpose. One can go and swim in
resort, can have lunch, can go just to pass time, plan an overnight stay and lit campfire, artist can complete their portrait,
novelist can finish novel, a poet can create his poem and tourist can have charming stay there. A resort can function as a
conference center, as a meeting center, as a banquette, as a restaurant, as a health club and various other functions. A resort
could be day serving and night serving, and it provides the cuisine service.
According to the new definition, A resort is a full-service lodging facility that provides access to or offers a range of
amenities and recreation facilities to emphasize a leisure experience. Resorts serve as the primary provider of the guests
experience, often provide services for business and meetings, and are characteristically located in vacation-oriented settings.
If we go through the history of resort, it dates back to Roman era where Therme serves multifunctional recreation activity and
most popular among this is Baiae. There may be numerous form of resort like,
- Sports Resort
- Adventure Resort
- Nature Resort
- Eco Resort
- Agro- Resort
- Health Resort
However, the purpose is same, that they all serve people and among them majority is foreign tourist. Resort being discussed here
is self-contained one, and another form of resort could be resort town where facilities are dispersed with in a small town or area.
So, if we go through the structural formation of resort then there are two types of resort;
Self-contained of integrated resort
A modern form of resort where one can have all the resort facilities within a boundary. All the functions are incorporated
but the scope of resort may vary as we have discussed above, like a resort focusing on sports may not concern in health
facilities, like wise wildlife safari resort may not pay attention to mountaineering. But, it is true that resort is self-contained
units, where it is possible to have as much facilities as a dweller needs. There are very few amount of self-contained resort in
Philippines, thus, this project will focus on designing full self-contained resort.

Resort town:
It is often understood as a traditional form of resort but this type carries essence of resort where functions and facilities
are scattered in a small town, which focuses on tourism as its primary occupation.
Resort can be classified into several categories and have guidelines to rate them, but according to service provided by
them, it could be day resort with recreational facilities like, spa, sports, sauna, health and cuisine facilities with several
restaurant, bars, and various other amenities.
Other resort is that which provides lodging facilities with all necessary service requirements. There is a guideline stated by Centre
for Resort and Hospitality Business for resorts having lodging facility. This sort of resort shall,
- Provide one signature amenity or anchor attribute
- Provide five secondary recreation/leisure/entertainment experiences
- Provide one full-service food & beverage outlet
- Bed-base must include short-term or overnight lodging
- Minimum of 25 rooms or other accommodations (exception to minimum for properties with two signature amenity/anchor
attributes)
- Emphasize a leisure or retreat-environment experience
The definition of few terms states above,
Signature Amenities:
Signature amenities are amenities, attractions, and geographically significant attributes that a resort requires to provide in order
to be considered as a resort. These include, for example: golf, ski/mountain, beach/ocean, lakeside, casino/gaming, allinclusiveness, spa/health/wellness, marina, tennis, and Water Park. For property-generated or fabricated amenities, they need to
be considered full-service to be a signature amenity.
Anchor Attribute:
It is minimum number of amenities that a resort should provide in addition to lodging and cuisine facility. The minimum number of
amenity is five, below this number; it is no more resort. Among various facilities like Health, Gymnasium, Sports, Library,
Museum, Swimming pool, Educational, Dude ranch, Casino, Discotheque etc, it should have minimum of five.
A mixture of various amenities, majestic hospitality, fantastic built structures and creative landscapes will create illustrative
resort.

The Main Objectives of this proposed is to:

GIVEN AREA UNITS ARE INTERRELATED AND SHOULD NOT BE FAR FROM EACH OTHER. ADJACENCY REFERS TO THE PLACEMENT, LOCATION,
AND ARRANGEMENT OF EACH ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT IN RELATION WITH EACH OTHER AS TO FUNCTIONS AND COORDINATIONS.
CIRCULATION

LIKE ROAD AND HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC CONFLICTS, TRAFFIC IS ALSO PRESENT INSIDE THE BUILDING THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED IN
PLANNING. CIRCULATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE BUILDING SHOULD NOT BE HAMPERED BY ANY OBSTACLES NOR BE
DETOURED AS A RESULT OF LACK IN EFFICIENT PLANNING.
SIZE, AREAS AND SHAPE

ALL ROOMS ARE INTENDED FOR HUMAN USE, THEREFORE SHOULD BE PLAN ACCORDING TO HUMAN SCALE. GOOD DESIGN ALWAYS PROVIDE
AMPLE AREAS TO ACCOMMODATE FURNITURES, APPLIANCES AND OTHER RELATED FACILITIES, INCLUDING THE MOST IMPORTANT PATHWAYS FOR
SYSTEMATIC MOVEMENT INSIDE THE BUILDING, THE SHAPE AS TO PLAN AND ELEVATIONS SHOULD BE FUNCTIONAL.

ORIENTATION
MAINLY REFERS TO THE POSITION AND DIRECTION OF THE SUNRISE AND SUNSET OR THE SOLAR ANGLE. IT ALSO INCLUDES THE WIND
PATTERNS IN THE AREA IN THE YEAR ROUND. GOOD VIEWS MUST BE CONSIDERED FOR THE LOCATION OF BALCONY/ VIEWING DECK. THE NOT-SO-

GOOD VIEWS MAY BE USED AS A LOCATION FOR PARKING AREAS. WINDOWS ORIENTED TO THE WESTERN PART MUST BE MINIMIZED SO THAT THE
AFTERNOON BREEZE CAN BE MODULATED INSIDE THE BUILDING.
LIGHT AND VENTILATION
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A GOOD DAYLIGHT AND FRESH NATURAL AIR ENTERING AND CIRCULATING INSIDE THE BUILDING. ARTIFICIAL
LIGHTING AND VENTILATION IS VERY COSTLY TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD, BUT OTHERS REFER IT FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT REGARDLESS OF
COST. THE DESIGN THEREFORE, DEPENDS UPON THE LIKE AND PREFERENCE OF THE OWNER.

DESI
The resort with recreational facilities posses wide range of scope. If we analyze the present trend of
internal resort tourism and need of leisure place, then it is acceptable to have multifunctional resort,
which not only focus on overnight stay but also concern in day services too.
For internal visitors, there is no trend of going hotels in weekend, due to their location on core urban
area. They intend to go some distance far from city so that they can enjoy the environment and
freshness there. Hence, resort tourism can provide best solution to internal tourism.
For external tourism, it will function as a FIRST CLASS ECONOMY HOTEL which provides all the
facilities within its boundary so as to make their stay pleasing and relaxing. It will help to promote
resort tourism in province and encourage foreigner to come here once just to stay in this very resort.
Ultimately, it will enhance tourism sector of province.
Resort can also be a place for convection and conference, and that depends on the quality of space
they provide so that the convection, conference or seminar becomes more interesting and
fascinating. The proposed resort will attempt to provide seminar space to meet international
standard.

The resort will be a place to gain knowledge regarding the green design, as it will apply integrated
energy system.
