Embodying the Spirit of Shell Island

DESERT WATERSHED  The site plan of this 25-acre development uses the concept of the desert watershed as a design driver for organizing the buildings and circulation on a site.

CENTER OF ATTRACTION  “All arroyos lead to the basin” inspires a radial, yet organic system of pathways and view corridors between structures, all leading to the main focal point: the surf pool.

PHASE 1  Includes a large lagoon with wave generating technology, swimming/plunge pools, beach activities, a smaller recreational lagoon for an in-water inflatable obstacle course and interactive play area, multiple restaurant and food service structures, pro shop, a surf shop retail area, meeting spaces/halls, equipment rentals and storage, and changing and locker rooms.
