Tusi: O Nadir o se nofoaga malolo o loʻo tuʻufaʻatasia i totonu o le Toafa o Atacama, ua mamanuina e pei o se fausaga faufale e foliga mai na ʻeliʻeli mai le fanua. O voluma faʻasagatonu maualalalo o loʻo saisai vavalalata i le papa, e faʻavaeina ai loggia loloto, faʻamalo puipuia mai le matagi ma faitotoʻa paolo. E faʻaaogaina le vai e fai ma faʻaata faʻamalulu, faatasi ai ma vaituloto i fafo o loʻo atagia ai le lagi o le vanu ma vaituloto goto o loʻo nofoia ai potu ua vaneina. O totonu o loʻo faʻatulagaina e ala i luga o le maʻa faʻa-vaega ma avanoa oculus e faʻatagaina ai le malamalama o le ao e pulea, faʻaitiitia ai le susulu ma le vevela. O se lisi faʻatapulaʻaina o maʻa fausaga lanu oneone, moli ma meaafale itiiti e faʻamamafaina ai le malutaga ma le vaʻaiga lautele.

Uiga Fa'apitoa
A monolithic resort in Chile’s Atacama Desert, carved from stratified stone where architecture is defined by void rather than object. Thick, high thermal mass walls, shaded courtyards, and top lit oculi provide passive cooling and controlled daylight. Water elements temper the microclimate and enhance reflections, while a restrained stone and wood palette delivers timeless, durable luxury integrated with the canyon.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i
The resort covers approximately 5,000 square meters and features an outdoor pool, 3 indoor pools, as well as a full wellness area with a Turkish bath, sauna, and relaxation area. The pools range in depth from 1 meter to 3 meters.
Fa'ailoga
Atacama Desert, desert resort, carved architecture, Nadir oasis, Nadir resort, design oasis, Nadir concept
Tekonolosi Gaosiga
Developed through iterative massing and void carving studies plan and section first, then 3D parametric modeling to control oculi, courtyard proportions and shadow lines. Material assembly logic is based on locally sourced stone or stone veneer on RC frame with high thermal mass, ventilated cavities, concealed linear LEDs, and waterproofed pool shells designed for low maintenance desert operation.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu
The hardest part was balancing excavation with comfort and safety in an extreme desert: creating shaded, quiet interior oases without losing daylight, views, or a clear guest journey. Limited water, harsh sun, thermal swings and fragile geology pushed us to use the rock mass as a climate buffer, minimize exposed facades, and choreograph light wells and courtyards.
Su'esu'ega
design research and site study. Objectives: create a low glare, sheltered resort embedded in rock, with water as an oasis cue. Methodology: climate solar mapping, spatial sequencing, and iterative massing tests. Data Tools: sun path, wind data, 3D models
Fa'aosofia
Inspired by the Atacama’s stratified geology and pre Columbian desert settlements, the project treats architecture as a carved refuge space shaped by subtraction, shade, and silence. Research into thermal mass, controlled zenithal daylight, and evaporative microclimates informed courtyards, oculi, and water basins to create comfort with minimal mechanical demand.
Umi o le Poloketi
Nadir Resort is a hospitality concept developed from august 2025 to February 2026 for a site in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The proposal integrates architecture with existing rock formations by partial excavation, forming protected courtyards and interior pool spaces. The project was prepared as a design competition submission and visualised through iterative spatial and material studies.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega
Guests arrive from the open desert and slip into a cooler, carved threshold. A gentle descent leads through shaded passages where sound, texture and warm light guide the way. Skylights and cuts in the rock reveal a sequence of indoor outdoor oases: pools, lounges and quiet rooms. Movement shifts naturally from social spaces to private retreat, while the surrounding stone keeps the atmosphere calm and temperate.
