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.

The Guest House have reception and changing room, the guest changes into a swimwear and able to go around with various themes SPAs.
