The Design

About Marina Gold Resorthotel

Marina Gold is een resorthotel gelegen aan het strand van Mui Ne in het zuidoosten van Vietnam. Het gebouw rijst diagonaal op van de zevende tot de twintigste verdieping, wat doet denken aan de vorm van een cruiseschip dat uitvaart. Op de bovenste verdieping strekt een uitkragend zwembad met glazen bodem zich uit richting de oceaan, naast een barlounge en een restaurant met weidse uitzichten. De gevel is bekleed met goudkleurig afgewerkte panelen die het licht van de zonsondergang weerkaatsen. De constructie bestaat uit gewapend beton met stalen componenten die de uitkragende delen ondersteunen. De interieurs zijn afgewerkt met hout en marmer.

Production Technology
The building exterior features special gold-finished panels that reflect the sunset. The structure is primarily reinforced concrete with steel components enabling the cantilevered sections. The interior incorporates premium wood and marble finishes, enhancing the ambiance of a luxury cruise ship.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was balancing futuristic aesthetics with structural feasibility. The cantilevered glass-bottom pool required advanced engineering to ensure safety while maintaining visual lightness. Strict coastal regulations and material limitations influenced design choices. Extensive environmental analysis was conducted to optimize light reflection and aerodynamics. Overcoming these obstacles led to a harmonious blend of innovation, sustainability, and guest experience.
Research
This research integrates futuristic aesthetics with sustainable resort design. The goal was to create a structure that harmonizes with its coastal surroundings while evoking a luxury cruise ship. Simulations and material studies examined light reflection and aerodynamics. Guest experience studies informed spatial planning, enhancing both visual and functional engagement. The findings contribute to resort architecture, influencing sustainable tourism and coastal hospitality.
Inspiration
Inspired by Mui Ne Beach’s breathtaking sunset, the design theme is a "Floating Luxury Cruise Ship." The building’s golden exterior reflects the setting sun, creating the appearance of a ship glowing in warm golden hues. A glass-bottom pool and a panoramic restaurant on the rooftop provide an unparalleled resort experience, enhancing the connection between architecture and nature.
Project Duration
The project is scheduled to open in 2030 on Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam.
Operation Flow
Surrounded by Mui Ne Beach’s ocean and forest, the hotel provides a harmonious resort experience. The rooftop pool, bar, and expansive shared terrace on the 6th floor create a unique and memorable space for guests.
