TPG has been a key part of the design team for the redevelopment of the Esplanade Hotel on Middleton Beach in Albany. The design team, drawn from Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Singapore, Thailand and China, has developed a concept for the site that reflects a unique synthesis of the Western idea of sustainability and the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui centred on the natural environment native to the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The development features an 81 room hotel constructed as a series of ‘pods' suspended to a steel frame and accessed along a upper level ‘treetop' walkway. In addition to the hotel, 30 residential apartments are proposed predominantly in a crescent shaped building. The complex represents a multi-faceted, high quality entertainment complex that is simultaneously a ground breaking tourism venture in that the development seeks to assist guests in engaging, relaxing and achieving a greater harmony with the natural world. |
