Dragon Bay Resort Renovation

Comprehensive renovation and architectural repositioning scheme for the Dragon Bay Resort (Sandals Jamaica), designed in collaboration with interior designer Thirza Roger. The master-planned scheme merges Anglo-Caribbean colonial heritage with exotic Balinese-inspired pavilions, carefully adapting to the steep coastal topography of the bay while preserving native tropical flora. The intervention articulates elevated stilt villas, private sun decks with plunge pools, and open-air wellness gazebos, creating a climate-responsive, high-end tropical hospitality sanctuary.

Hillside tropical villas at Dragon Bay Resort Jamaica featuring tiered Asian-inspired roofs, cantilevered timber decks, and lush coastal jungle landscaping.
