Project premise

One route.
Six landscape rooms.

Terramar is organised as a continuous guest journey from the planted arrival threshold to the Aegean shore. Garden courts, open-air dining, pool terraces, beach and pier are read as one landscape system.

Pool, garden rooms and the Aegean coast are connected by one continuous landscape route.

Site reading

Between road
and shore.

The site is read through three fixed conditions: a narrow landward approach, a direct beach edge and an existing line of trees.

  • Access — arrival begins at the landward edge.
  • Coast — the beach remains the public horizon.
  • Vegetation — existing trees form the first spatial frame.

Design strategy

The route
sets the order.

Diagram showing the linked landscape rooms from arrival to shore.
Arrival, garden, dining, pool, beach and pier form one north–south sequence.

Landscape spine

Planting joins the inland threshold to the shore.

Social nodes

Activity gathers at dining, pool and beach transitions.

Service separation

Guest movement and operational routes remain legible.

Masterplan

One spine.
Six rooms.

Programme is concentrated around the path so every landscape room becomes legible before it is reached.

Planting strategy

Tropical silhouette.
Aegean climate.

Tall palms, sculptural lower layers and seasonal colour form the planting language. Musa and Bougainvillea are reserved for protected microclimates.
