LA ESCAPATORIA LA ESCAPATORIA is Spanish for A ‘Getaway’ referring to the Mediterranean style used throughout the façade that reminds one of a lavish holiday getaway. The site’s microclimate is influenced by the lake nearby giving the atmosphere a cooler and more humid feel compared to the rest of areas nearby, inspiring the use of Mediterranean style, giving users a feel of relaxing on vacation. Angled windows are used in the North-western side of the site in a aesthetic and purposeful way to manipulate the user’s view and to add flavour to the façade. Mediterranean-Greco style compound walls are used to complete the look and to help with the immersion.
