Seating in shades of mustard inspired by the indigenous eagle’s beak enlivens the lounge, while a kaleidoscope of metal butterflies and cocoons “are illuminated to create an enchanting swarm.”

A residential-style open kitchen with wood-burning pizza oven sits at the heart of the restaurant, and lighting, inspired by the intricate birds’ nests of the wetlands, weaves shadows across the space at night.

An elephant gray palette with pops of yellow continues in a guestroom, outfitted with a daybed within a window nook that doubles as a child’s bed, and a stained oak table sitting beneath a copper-painted metal light.

Public spaces are organic in shape, curving around the site’s ancient trees and positioned to capture the myriad views.
