Ember & Water is a hospitality design project developed from a clear business strategy: to transform a single cabin and an underused 2,500 sqm plot into a layered, high-value guest experience.

​

The existing cabin, positioned towards the lower part of the site, defined the starting point. The first phase focused on extending the terrace and redefining access from the street, creating a strong arrival sequence and a functional outdoor platform. This new deck integrates a heated pool, lounge areas and a flexible setting designed to support both daily use and private events.

​

The project introduces a complete outdoor hospitality framework: a bar with an outdoor kitchen, a dedicated DJ area and an open-air cinema, allowing the space to adapt to multiple scenarios — from intimate gatherings to private celebrations and corporate events. Each configuration is designed to extend the duration of stay and increase the overall value of the experience.

​

Behind the cabin, a more private zone accommodates the jacuzzi, while the garden becomes a slower, more introspective layer — with hammocks, a bonfire area and a private sauna dedicated to the cabin guests.

​

The second phase expands the project into a full retreat concept. The upper part of the site is planned to include four premium tiny houses, each with its own sauna and jacuzzi, connected through a landscaped promenade that continues the same rhythm of relaxation, privacy and controlled social interaction.

​

The aesthetic follows the strategy. Every element is designed to support flow, atmosphere and the balance between social and private experiences — shaping a space that performs as both destination and business.
