The sustainability strategy of the revised design is based on passive design, material responsibility, and long-term usability in a coastal climate. Instead of relying mainly on mechanical systems, the proposal uses natural ventilation, shading, roof overhangs, courtyard cooling, and landscape to improve comfort. The revised design also considers durability by using a stable base/plinth for the coastal ground condition and lighter structural elements above

The revised sustainability approach is simple and passive. It does not depend on complex technology, but uses climate, shade, airflow, material durability, and landscape as part of the architectural strategy. This makes the retreat more suitable for Port Dickson while keeping the design connected to the concept of “Stillness in Motion.”
