The Encore Mount Wutai Theatre lies outside of the south entrance of the Wutai Mountain scenic area and on the open ground before two hills. Because the need of large-scale situational performances, the theatre space is a large space that is 131 meters long, 75 meters wide and 21.5 meters high. The 730-meter-long and slowly unfolding “Sutra Folds” is located in front of the theatre, and the scriptures of the A vatamsaka Sutra, the “king of sutras”, are inscribed on the Folds. The seven “Sutra Folds” are arranged to form a gradually opening order from high to low and become the prelude of the theatre performance. No sooner does the audience enter the “Sutra Folds” than the performance begins – the theatre is just like a vast sutra slowly opening before the view of the audience. Therefore, the exclusive theatre of “Encore Mount Wutai” is a theatre extending from outdoors to indoors.

Ani Villas, two modern luxury villas of 3,000-4,000 square feet each, reside on a 1 ½ acre plot that slopes up to a sheer, stone promontory, overlooking Little Bay to the west on Anguilla’s north coast.  They include soaring indoor-outdoor living spaces with breathtaking views of the sea and the sky.  Each villa has four bedrooms with a detached office/guest area, and site amenities include a tennis court, a viewing pavilion and a cliff-top pool and deck area.  The white, modern structures – a series of stacked rectangular layers, forming subtly ascending levels and varying sized balconies and infilled with glass – appear like beacons atop the cliff and position themselves within the tradition of tropical modern architecture.
