About Binh Chau Minera Hot Springs Resort

Binh Chau Minera is a hot springs resort set in a forest in Binh Chau, Vietnam. The Guest House is the core facility and is designed as a new forest vessel that is integrated with the existing forest. An artificial ground extends from the ground to the second floor level, so the impression of the forest continues inside the building. At the other entrance, water and plants are arranged like a waterfall on the cut surface of the ground. A column-free atrium of 18 by 18 meters carries a polyhedral steel roof and guides the flow of visitors.

Production Technology
The undulating artificial ground at the top of entrance adopted shell structure, to create seamless and beautiful curved ceiling. We made the space look like huge lantern with warm light that attract people by illuminating ceiling only from ground level. The Atrium in the Guest house is 18meters by 18meters column-free stairwell, to put symbolic polyhedral roof by steel-framed, it became a center of flow lines in this high-visible facility.
Inspiration
There is a natural hot spring which is rare in Vietnam, client requested to create the facility which has the ability to pull in more customers utilizing hot spring. We proposed design plan for hot springs resort fused with forest. In order to make an architecture of 10,000 square meters which like suddenly appears in forest, we aimed to create the facility blends in with surrounding natural environment, have less imposing architectural image and commercial face.
