Your First Step.
Renovating or expanding a resort?
Struggling with guest flow, aging infrastructure, or outdoor spaces that no longer impress?
Wondering where to start before committing to expensive construction?
Hi, I’m Joan Piccalo — a Resort Design Specialist with 30 years of design experience and two decades focused on hospitality projects across the Caribbean and Asia.
Your first step toward a resort that performs as beautifully as it looks starts with a Design Audit — a focused, professional review that reveals what’s working, what’s holding you back, and where your biggest opportunities lie.
From arrival experiences to guest circulation, from outdoor amenities to storm-resilient landscapes, I help owners and design teams see the site clearly — uncovering ways to enhance guest experience, safety, and ROI before construction even begins.
