The Reef House
Client: LaiLai LLC
Location: Vomo Island, Fiji
Collaborators: Architecture Building Culture (Architect), Toll Construction and Joinery Ltd (Contractor), Construct Fiji (Contractor), DJI (Lighting), Dunning Thornton Consultants (Structural Engineer)
Year Completed: 2024
Located on the exclusive Vomo Island Resort in the northwest of Fiji, The Reef House private residence sought to create a serene, natural garden aesthetic reflecting the tropical Fijian setting. Towering palm trees nestle the expansive villa into its site discreetly, where architecture and landscape seek balance, between nature and design, privacy and connectedness.
The landscape encompasses a vast array of richly planted garden beds, balancing a feeling of openness alongside more secluded external ‘rooms’ where privacy and reflection are central to all guests through the private courtyards and outdoor stone-clad bathrooms. Lush layers of textured endemic planting, with new and retained palm trees, frame key views throughout the island and around the main pavilion, all opening out onto the golden sand beach and reef on the doorstep of the villa.
The villa is surrounded by a series of articulated water gardens, where the peaceful presence of water is interspersed with rich planting and a timber boardwalk to circulate guests from the main entry axis to the central pool and beach access.
