What is the ruling on working on the design of tourist residential units (villas or chalets) located on sea coasts or in mountainous or rural areas, designated for ownership and rental, and not connected to hotel buildings or containing facilities for drinking alcohol, knowing that their use depends on the varying behavior of the users?

There is no objection to working on the design of tourist residential units as long as it is not certain or highly probable that they will be used specifically for forbidden purposes. The default ruling for tourism is permissibility, unless it is associated with something forbidden or leads to it.
