Sustainable Overwater Resorts

The EcoFloLife Palm Village was Designed by Giancarlo Zema

— May 27, 2021 — Art & Design
The EcoFloLife Palm Village has been designed by Italian architect Giancarlo Zema as a concept resort that would provide impressive amenities for guests. The bungalow-style resort is imagined for the Maldives where it would sit over the water to offer each room its own viewpoint right out to the ocean. The bungalows would be made with laminated wood from PEFC-certified forests and would feature photovoltaic palms around the walkway by LumineXence to passively collect solar energy.

The EcoFloLife Palm Village would speak to the increasing number of consumers interested in eco-friendly travel, while still accommodating a preference for luxurious amenities at the same time. The resort would thus be widely applicable to a range of travelers eager to enjoy a trip unlike any other.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Overwater Resorts - Design eco-friendly resorts to appeal to travelers looking for a luxurious, yet sustainable vacation experience.
2. Laminated Wood Construction - Use laminated wood from certified forests in construction to reduce environmental impact and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
3. Passive Solar Energy Collection - Incorporate passive solar energy collection, such as photovoltaic palms, into resort architecture to appeal to consumers interested in sustainable energy solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Create sustainable, luxurious resorts that attract eco-conscious travelers and appeal to a broad range of consumers.
2. Construction - Use eco-friendly materials like laminated wood from certified forests to construct buildings that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and contribute to sustainable development.
3. Renewable Energy - Develop passive solar energy collection solutions that can be integrated into architectural designs, especially for the hospitality industry, to increase energy efficiency while offering consumers sustainable and luxurious travel experiences.
