Appreciation towards FOS for providing the following description:

这个度假酒店位于泰国最受欢迎海滩附近的一个拐角地上。

酒店有游泳池，餐厅，酒吧，日光浴甲板。这里得天独厚，距离海滨不到100米。但挑战在于怎么样在这一块被道路切分的三角地块上安置好酒店的各项功能，并让客人仿佛置身于海滨。根据地形，建筑师部署建筑，让所有的客房朝向大海，同时在三角形中间放了一个30米的泳池和一个3.5米高的人工瀑布，一楼和下层的客房客人可以推开门就跳进泳池。裙房的屋顶上面是一个40米的无边泳池，一头接壤酒吧。在这里，泳池仿佛与远处的海天连成一气。建筑立面元素引用当地木机床织布的一些要素，光与阴影交织穿梭在建筑的各处。

In the recent years, the growing tourism market in the East coast of Thailand has resulted in even more developments in hotel and tourism-related businesses in the region. Chang Island in the province of Trad, one of the most popular beach cities among European holidaymakers, has also followed this trend steadily.

The existing KC Grande Resort & Spa, located on the most beautiful beach in the island : Had Sai Kao (White Sand Beach), has welcomed its guests in full capacity for the last couple years. To accommodate the increasing number of bookings in the near future, the new extension demands additional 79 keys with facilities including pools, a restaurant, bars and sun-bathing decks.

Situated at the corner of the inclined road that cuts the site into a triangular shape which is less than 100 meters away from the beachfront, KC Grande Resort & Spa New Extension faces two problematic challenges: how can the building fit in a triangular site with a steady inclination? And how can the guests feel like being part of the beachfront despite the fact that they are far-off?

By splitting the building into two parts in two different levels according to the existing topography, we optimise the internal space between the 5-metre different levels of the front and the back buildings while also strategically placing a 30m-long pool and a 3.5m-high artificial waterfall as a focal point in middle of the space. On the first floor of both the lower and upper buildings, all guestrooms have direct access to the plunge pools of their own, representing the effect of being adjacent to the sea. Another advantage of locating the back building on top of the slope is that most of the guestrooms have clear view towards the sea, not being blocked by the lower building and other buildings in front.

On the rooftop level of the lower building, a 40m-long infinity-edge pool with a pool bar at the far end provides a unique experience of being at the seam line between the sky and the horizon overlooking towards Had Sai Khao Beach.

The architectural elements, from the scale of the facade to the interior space of the project, are treated as the performing character of wooden weaving, a local craftsmanship. The interplay of light and shadow is subtlely articulated in various part of the building.
