IV. STATEMENT OF THE

PROBLEM
The demand for the daily necessities of life is gradually becoming the main
purpose of many people to work and be at work and not relaxed at all.
Because there is a high demand of the needs and wants of people forget that
relaxation and rest is also a part of life. Because of these as they grow old
and retire there is a great need for them to enjoy life and spend the hard
earned bucks that they have saved. Though it is a pity for them to relax on a
late stage there is a need to provide them the best accommodation and
lodging as well as other necessities that can help them unwind and forget all
the stress a way.

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

CLIENT:
So, we know that relaxation is good for us, but how exactly? Check out some
of the more excellent benefits of getting in some good zen time every day:

Youll keep your stress levels in check. Stress in small amounts is okay it
motivates us to get stuff done. When it starts hanging around for a long time
and affecting our everyday lives, its time to take some steps to get it under
control. Daily relaxation helps to manage stress levels.

Youll sleep better. Sleep is not only lots of fun, it also plays a really important
role in making sure that were functioning our best throughout the day. Find
time to relax every night before bed and chances are youll find your quality
of sleep improves. Check out more info on how to get a good nights sleep.

Your mood will improve. A great way to improve your mood is to give
relaxation techniques like progressive muscle relaxation a go. It involves
relaxing the muscles, and it helps to get stress and anxiety under control. It
takes practice, but its worthwhile.

Your memory will improve and youll find it easier to concentrate. As

mentioned above, relaxation usually means a better nights sleep, which in
turn does wonders for our memory and our concentration.

Youll be reducing your chance of physical illness in the long run. Being
stressed for long periods of time puts lots of stress on our bodies, especially
on our hearts. Make it a habit to relax regularly now, and youll be doing
yourself a favour in the long run.

Youll enjoy it. End of story.

ENTREPRENEUR:

Many entrepreneurs who start small businesses are able to grow those
companies into large concerns with a sizable local, national and even global
impact. Entrepreneurial businesses are often better able to establish personal
relationships with their customers. Because they are often more flexible than
big companies, entrepreneurial businesses often create a more welcoming
environment for innovation and invention. Entrepreneurial firms are also
better suited to cater to niche markets because they do not have to support
large overheads. Because many small businesses fail, however,
entrepreneurs must be sure to put a viable business plan in place.

Impact entrepreneurs must focus first on how their companies will make
money, since a company that isn't financially sound is unlikely to change the

world. Investors who are intrigued by impact entrepreneurship also want to

see viable business plans and may be skeptical of impact entrepreneurs who
pitch their ideas as if they were establishing a non-profit.

specifically with the treatment of disease. The therapeutic dose of a drug is
the amount needed to treat a disease.

VII. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

My concept for the design is wind. I used wind as a concept to incorporate nature
with the design. I want to blend the built environment to the concrete structure and
make a combination. I want the beach resort to blend with nature.
