Arrival Centre for Island Resort – Ozone Group | Creating Nature Integrated Designs.

Year : 2014

Location : Goa

Area : 15.000 SQFT / 2.50 ACRES

A rundown hotel in Goa has been repurposed into a striking arrival center for a major island development, marking it as one of the first LEED-certified hospitality buildings in the area.

Located on a linear site between the Mandovi River and National Highway, the project is strategically organized into three zones: the arrival zone, building zone, and water zone. The design features two buildings staged as floating structures, each with distinct exposures tailored to the local climate. The northern facades, benefiting from reduced solar radiation and a stunning river view, are fully transparent and operable, allowing for optimal natural ventilation and a connection with the outdoors. In contrast, the southern facades are predominantly solid, providing protection against harsh sunlight, heavy rain, and highway noise. The southern façade is adorned with GRC screens that not only enhance the arrival experience but also act as a thermal mass, contributing to the building’s energy efficiency while becoming an iconic architectural feature.
