The scale of the resort is very much in keeping with the historical context of Bodrum.
Bodrum is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Turkey. SUSONA Bodrum is located in Torba on a private peninsula surrounded by crystal clear waters and nature. Torba is a small sea-side village covered by olive groves and pine forests. Despite its close proximity to Bodrum and growth in popularity and amenity, Torba has retained a relaxed, rural ambience. It is a unique location which can fulfill the visitor’s needs via physical comfort and mental pleasure. Despite the density of Bodrum city, the green belt surrounding Bodrum remains untouched. The site and surrounding area was studied in regards to the physical characteristic and sociological factors. The hotel units were designed in a fragmented organization creating more flexibility than if they were integrated into the site as a monolithic mass much like the architecture of the locality. Cross ventilation is established through landscaping between the units. Blurring the boundaries between the interior, exterior and recreational areas is the main source of the context inspiration. Despite this fragmentation, there is continuity in hypetated between the lines of the hotel blocks.
