Project Description::

Tonkin Zulaikha Greer has been commissioned to develop a resort, two zones of holiday units and holiday apartments for the planned 5 star Eco Tourism Development in Musselroe Bay, Tasmania. The aim of the project has been to protect the unique environment of this coastal region while providing a luxury tourist and leisure experience.

The Musselroe brief calls for a design that achieves a level of luxury with a special focus – here is not the luxury of vast space and expense, but rather the luxury of careful design to meet every need, responsively and responsibly.

Luxury will come from being able to immerse oneself in a unique natural setting, in complete comfort and privacy, with an unequalled range of facilities and experiences at hand. This sense of true relaxation will only be enhanced by the knowledge that Musselroe Bay has been built and managed to enhance the local ecosystems, its footprint on the earth carefully contained.

It will be the project as an indivisible whole, a well-managed union of land, flora, fauna, architecture and engineering, that will create its world-wide profile as a Tasmanian icon, an instantly recognised brand, a destination. The clusters will sit into the site with comfort and ease, but will constantly involve and interest the occupant through the subtlety of their articulation and the quality of their materials.
