Okay, so I was checking out this new resort design in Albania called The Veil, and it’s seriously cool. It’s being built right into the mountains overlooking the coast, surrounded by thick forests. What’s neat is the architects, Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, are trying to build with the land, not on it. They’re basically designing it like a light, almost invisible layer over the existing landscape, so they aren’t doing a ton of digging and messing up the forest. They’re building around the natural hills and using existing flat spots, which means the woods will stay pretty much as they are. It’s a really thoughtful approach to building in a beautiful, natural area.
