Phase
I of
the Sunset Harbour project has been granted approval in principle.
The contemporary Caribbean design of
the project embraces luxury apartments, restaurants,
bar, spa, boutique hotel and dock facilities.
Facing the water
(and the sunset), all apartments will incorporate full height adjustable
jalousie and sliding shutters to shade each space. The animated façade
of the buildings will change during the day, through various degrees
of transparency as the shutters are slid open
to reveal large balconies and the view, or slid across to filter the sun,
or for privacy.
The roof canopy incorporates a brise-soleil shading the penthouse
apartments, and the gently curved roofs of patinated green copper
blend with the landscape behind. All apartments are designed to take
advantage of the cooling breezes and sunlight, reducing the typical energy
load of this type of building.
Phase
I
will comprise 52 luxury marina-front apartments.
