Scope : Concept design
Before go directly to plan this site, the team proposed series questions to ask ourselves. One of them is “What is the most essential to the site when you consider the long term sustainable future?” We decided to plan one hotels block on the front side and the rest is upland villas according to the current topographic.
Located on a hill near the statue of Christ, the building has a beautiful landscape and nice view down to the road. With a high slope, the architect proposes a winding road along the horizontal of the land to reduce altitude, ensuring each villa can be access from the front and back roads.
We use soft landscape, like grass field or water pond to connect visually and also creates the buffer for each function. They look and feel like connected but in reality the functions are separated depend on the different degree of privacy. The options apply the market needs and satisfy the hotel operator’s requirements. It focuses to create a new life style for the whole community rather than just concentrated one of either the hotel customers or the residents. Finally, the existence of waters unique qualities will inspire inner reflection and contemplation for visitors.
