The Ulifushi collection ދިވެހިރާއްޖެ
Rooted in the Maldives.
In Haa Alifu Atholhu, a village is taking shape around the shore, the shade and the stories already here.
The first glimpse
A shore worth slowing down for.
Palms hold the light. The lagoon opens beyond the shore. This coastal study imagines the arrival at Ulifushi: a gentle reveal of the landscape and the village taking shape within it.
A place taking shape
Step into island time.
In the northern Maldives, Ulifushi's vision grows from a region closely tied to the legacy of Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu. Its history gives the village a sense of place before a guest ever arrives.
The proposed restoration brings Maldivian thresholds, shaded courtyards and open pavilions into a new chapter. Native planting and room to breathe guide a landscape designed for unhurried island living.
The people carry the story
Heritage lives in the everyday.
A shared table. A craft learned by watching. A story told over tea. The village vision places the knowledge of Maldivian cooks, craftspeople, healers and storytellers at the heart of these moments.
Architecture makes space for that exchange: sheltered places to gather, quiet corners to retreat, and a close relationship between people and the landscape. The ambition is a living continuation of heritage, carried into daily life.
