Primarily designed for local and foreign backpackers who crave for unique and authentic experiences, the architecture hopes to represent both the macro-culture of the Philippines and the micro-culture of El Nido, Palawan.
Minimalistic massing was combined with vibrant murals that depict snippets of local experiences, formulating spaces that are highly-stimulating, optimistic, and hopeful for the future; yet deeply grounded on its roots.
