Grande Lakes Orlando

Orlando, FL

Set amidst lushly landscaped grounds at the headwaters of the Florida Everglades, this project is an oasis where stellar recreation is balanced by sophisticated style. The landscape elements are a major feature of the resort and an important part of the success of the entire project. The extensive landscaped gardens and the preserved natural environment are focal points of the hotel, spa and convention facilities. David Lesiuk performed work as senior associate and oversaw all aspects of design from concept through construction administration.
