AKRA SENSATORI – THE RESIDENCE AT TUI SENSATORI BARUT FETHİYE
The project site is located in Fethiye, a district of Muğla, Turkey. Akra Sensatori – The Residence at TUI Sensatori Barut Fethiye is a high-end holiday destination designed for adult guests, developed in line with the Sensatori concept themed around a “sensory experience.”
The project approaches various outdoor components such as the pool area, surface circulation, sunbathing platforms, swim-up rooms, decks, and landscape design as an integrated whole. The main pool is designed with an amorphous form that evokes the feeling of a natural lake, and is enriched with an in-pool bar, shallow water sunbathing areas, and wooden decks.
An island and bridge system within the pool acts as the primary pedestrian axis connecting the beach to the hotel entrance. This bridge features concealed lighting underneath, while RGB color-changing lights are used within the pool. Transparent surfaces created with acrylic glass pool walls offer an infinity pool effect and make the underwater scenery visible.
In line with the principles of inclusive design, all walkways and ramps have been planned to stay within a 6% slope limit. Additionally, outdoor solutions have been developed for various physical activities such as water sports, beach volleyball, tennis, badminton, and running tracks.
The planting design was created considering parameters such as climate change, water conservation, and site temperature. Vegetation has been selected to suit the tropical concept.
