The resort is situated in a rural landscape of Ayutthaya, Thailand, surrounded by the Chao Phraya River on one side and the canal on the other. The architectural design is a contemporary re-interpretation of the local rural landscape and intends to connect people to the life of the river and its atmosphere.
The buildings are scaled down to be in grain with the surrounding local houses, alternating and surrounded by lushness of trees, and arranged in clusters with variation of positioning, in and out with various building heights. The roofline of the clusters is corresponding to those of the surrounding villages. Yet the villas are contemporary in their spatiality. The living space of the villa is designed as if it is suspended between nature, with one full front opens up and connects to the river and another full opening opens up to the small courtyard on the opposite side. The hotel room type has a special bay window as a cozy little place to snuggle oneself in and to be connected with the rural canal view beyond.
