A minibus eases to a stop under a dense Gotjawal canopy and the air smells of damp basalt and pine resin. Guests step out into a half-hidden forest where northern and southern plant species press close to one another, then move on to low-slung buildings where water, wind and stone are made architectural: a circular water mirror, a timber wind hall, and iron-and-basalt rooms that frame light.
