The concept for the Shaori Resort was born from settlement patterns found in the traditional villages of the Racha region. By observing how mountain dwellings naturally design a dynamic layering of rooftops and geometries. The architecture is not treated as a single building, but as a “re-interpreted village” where the roof of one unit aligns with the ground level of another, mirroring the cascading landscape of the nearby hills.

This diagram view emphasizes the project’s core goal: a modular, scalable retreat that provides high-end privacy while remaining deeply connected to the natural topography and context. By visualizing the resort as a cluster of individual volumes rather than a single mass, the model demonstrates a clear logic for flexible, phase-by-phase development. Each building is stepped along the natural contours, creating a rhythmic “rooftop landscape” that ensures every unit maintains an unobstructed view of the lake and mountains.
