About Binh Chau Minera Complexe de sources thermales

Binh Chau Minera est un complexe de sources thermales implanté au cœur d'une forêt à Binh Chau, au Vietnam. La maison d'hôtes en constitue l'équipement central : elle est conçue comme un nouvel écrin forestier intégré à la forêt existante. Un sol artificiel s'élève depuis le terrain naturel jusqu'au niveau du deuxième étage, si bien que l'impression de la forêt se prolonge à l'intérieur du bâtiment. À l'autre entrée, l'eau et les plantes sont disposées à la manière d'une cascade sur la surface entaillée du sol. Un atrium sans poteaux de 18 mètres sur 18 supporte une toiture polyédrique en acier et oriente le flux des visiteurs.

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.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2017 and constructed in November 2020 at Binh Chau, Vietnam.
Operation Flow: Site location in Binh Chau Village, about 3hours drive to east from Ho Chi Minh which is the center city of Vietnam. It is located in lush forest, about 3km inland from coastline dotted with tourist area such as beach resorts and casinos.
