Buenaventura currently offers single familyresidential opportunities and golf villas, as well as high and medium-densityresidential condominium options, making this a very dynamic community to bea part of. A Nicklaus Design championship golf course along with many otheramenities, such as the luxurious Bristol Hotel and Spa, two beach clubs, atennis center, and a boutique hotel with both whole and fractional ownershippossibilities will make Buenaventura the ultimate tropical destination.This booklet has been prepared as a summary of the design process andplanning efforts for this expansive and successful project to date. Thebeach village and residences have been developed in response to thesite analysis, market analysis, and project programs. The over archinggoal of these designs is to create a unique, world class destination thatseemlessly integrates itself with it’s natural and built surroundings.6789pa n a m a t h e s o u t h e r n m o s t c e n t r a l a m e r i c a n c o u n t r y b e t w e e n c o s t a r i c a a n d c o l o m b i acentrally located in panama along the paci fi c coastbeach front location in farollon, panama a short drive from panama cityl o c a t i o nCas co co c o vie v ie e jo,jo j o,o a Pa Pa P nam m a C a C a ity ty yb u e n a v e n t u r a o v e r a l lm a s t e r p l a nthe bristol resort at buenaventura1011b u e n a v e n t u r a b e ac hv i l l a g e r e s i d e n c e sthe town center at buenaventura13121415The inspiration for the beach village at Buenaventura is derived from the various villages and cities within Europe that represent the progression of the built environment. Various styles from Renaissance and Baroque Architecture can be found in several cities throughout Europe including Lucca and Florence in Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Lucerne, Switzerland. The idea is to represent these classic styles within the tropical environment of Buenaventura. The balance of the aged architecture with modern designs will add a dynamic product to the area of Rio Hato.i n s p i r a t i o na n a l y s i s p r o c e s sThe site analysis phase of the projectevaluates the site’s opportunities, constraints,and potential uses for the site. To facilitate theprocess, the design team prepared slope andelevation analysis as well as aerial imagerydrawings prior to arriving at the site. Elementstaken into account for a complete site analysisinclude:• Climate• Winds• Hydrology• Geology• Landforms• Vegetation• Wildlife• Views• Existing Elements and Uses• Historical Infl uences• Cultural Infl uencesThe Analysis and Site Reconnaissancestep provides an understanding of both thephysical site as well as market opportunitiesand constraints. This summary of developmentpotential will identify specific zones forpreservation and development, a summaryof findings for market support, potentialprogram elements and further data providedby specialized team members to specify theplanning and design.16171819The beach village conceptual master plan builds upon the analysis process, while also taking into consideration access points, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, existing fl ora preservation, and adjacent development parcels. Concepts generated begin to establish a vision for the development and strategically starts to place the project elements within the site.The objective of the design team is to create Panama’s fi rst beach front village and residences within a planned community crafting a high quality, sustainable retreat from the fast pace of Panama City. Buenaventura is to become an interconnected and essential development to the region and the country by providing quality service, amenities, and commerce creating high standards for future developments to strive for. Beyond the beach front village, the development must create a standard of living unseen in Latin America today. Buenaventura will build a sense of community integrating resort style living, signature golf and marine life providing ful fi llment for all residents and guests. The team’s objectives will be to incorporate the beach front village within features of the land and an overall sense of place, allowing Buenaventura to become a timeless place to be revered by generations to come.pla n nin g a v i s i o na n e l e g a n t l i f e s t y l e C R E A T Ei l l u s t r a t i v e m a s t e r p l a nLEGEND1.
