Designed by IMKM Architects and featured in Architectural Digest, Casa Loro sits far enough from the nearest fire station that fire performance was never a secondary consideration. It was the starting point. The villa’s sweeping thatched roofs, sculptural cones over the main pavilions and long sheltering eaves over the guest cabins, needed to deliver the organic, palm-thatched silhouette the design called for while meeting a fire safety standard that natural thatch simply cannot offer in a remote setting.
That constraint shaped the whole roofline. Endureed’s engineered thatch gave IMKM the material freedom to sculpt those low, curving profiles exactly as drawn, while giving the client something natural palm never could: a Class A fire rating built into the roof itself, not layered on as an afterthought.
