Appreciations towards Ho Khue Architects for providing the following descriptions:

巴比伦花园spa位于越南中部的沿海城市岘港（Da Nang），改造自一幢未建成的居民楼。因地处岘港市中心地带，建筑场地面积虽小但具有较高价值。该项目中最主要的挑战是在实现商业空间最大化的同时，保证建筑的趣味性及私密性，从而营造出spa空间所需的轻松氛围。

The Babylon Garden Spa project was built in Da Nang, a central coastal city of Viet Nam, as a renovation of an unfinished family housing project. Being in the central urban area of Da Nang, the plot is of small size and valuable considering its cost. The main challenge in the design was to build to the maximum area for business in balance with an interesting, private, and unique space which brings a sense of relaxation needed for a spa area.

项目的设计策略主要分为两部分，一是最大程度拓展商业空间，其次是为建筑的两侧尽可能打造出自然氛围。策略的创新之处在于创造出能应对气候变化的人造自然元素。为避免阳光直射，建筑体块中朝向南面和西南面的长边外墙上，覆有红土及茂密的植被。这种设计同时增强了对顾客隐私的保护，并带来放松感。如何帮助墙面上的植被生长是该项目的难点。种植植物的多孔窗由700块200 x 600 x 100的红土砖互相堆叠而成，砖块之间即形成了可种植植物的孔洞。

The solution included maximizing the business area and exposing the 2 sides of the building to nature. The innovation lies in the creation of layers of natural and built elements as a response to the climate. The long side of the building which is facing the South and South-West are protected from direct sunlight by a wide layer of vegetation and another layer of laterite. This also facilitates privacy for visitors and enhances relaxation. The main feature of the project which helps in creating vegetation, the laterite louvers, were created using 700 pieces of laterite with 200 x 600 x 100, stacked on top of each other, altogether creating a simple block of laterite house filled with trees.
