Tsunami-Proof Hotel by Margot Krasojevic: Architecture at the Edge of Resilience and Futurism

Margot Krasojevic’s tsunami-proof hotel concept is a powerful fusion of visionary architecture and environmental foresight. Designed for Hainan’s vulnerable coastline, the hotel is both a sculptural marvel and a resilient refuge—built to withstand extreme ocean forces through dynamic elements like deflection walls, retractable structures, and floating platforms. This forward-thinking design not only prioritizes safety in the face of natural disasters, but also redefines coastal luxury, incorporating sustainable technologies and materials that respond to both aesthetic and ecological demands. Interiors are fluid and modular, echoing the exterior's wave-inspired form while offering immersive, sea-facing experiences. The concept challenges traditional hospitality by proposing a new paradigm: one where design flows with nature, not against it. In an era of climate uncertainty, Krasojevic’s vision is both poetic and practical—a glimpse into a future where safety, beauty, and sustainability coexist seamlessly on the water’s edge.
