SUSTAINABLE DESIGN | ARCHITECTURE


Intercontinental Phuket Resort
Intercontinental Phuket Resort

InterContinetal Phuket Resort is a splendid showcase of Thai heritage intertwined with contemporary arts, designed by award-winning Bangkok based Habita Architects.

サステイナブルなデザインと建築 

インターコンチネンタル·プーケット·リゾートはバンコクで数多くのリゾートホテルの設計をしているハビタ・アーキテクツ(建築事務所)が手掛けており、歴史と現代のアートを上手く混合した仕上がりになっています。


Intercontinental Phuket Resort
Intercontinental Phuket Resort

The resort occupies two distinct land areas: One next to the beach and the other larger portion of the resort on the flat land next to the hillside. Most of the existing pine trees were retained on the beach side, however those that were cut down were used for interior decorations and walls.

リゾートは海側と山側の2つのエリアに別れていて、山側は海側に比べて土地エリアが広く、平な場所に建てられています。一方の海側は多くの松の木が集結するビーチフロントに建設されたにもかかわらず、切り倒した松の木は数本で、これらの木材はリゾートのインテリア等に使用されています。

SENSE OF PLACE - THE SPIRITUAL ASPECTS

The design concept is “Thai-ness”. Habita Architect wanted to create a visual and architectural representation of such “Thai-ness” that beholds the spirit of ‘Traibhumikatha’, the oldest Thai text, which sets out an explanation of heaven. 


「タイらしさ」というデザイン・コンセプトと、“天国のイメージ”を伝うタイの古き文「トライブミカタ」を結合し生み出された楽園でもあります。

As this place was inspired by “Traibhumikatha”, an oldest Thai text which sets out an imagery of Heaven, the estate was a perfect canvas for the Architects to illustrate this concept of “Heaven on Earth” with focus on four central components (stated below).

“天国のイメージ”を伝うタイの古き文「トライブミカタ」をコンセプトに描かれた聖域と4つの要素。

The Form of Heaven

Intercontinental Phuket Resort
Intercontinental Phuket Resort

Thai temples in ancient mural painting’s, heaven’s pavilions are interpreted to be grand and tall, with the uppermost spire reaching up to the sky. This spire form can be seen in the resort’s main pavilion, the centerpiece of this heavenly place.

天国の形 

古代壁画に描かれている「天国のパビリオン」を描写した、壮大な建物と天を指す尖塔.

The Sky on Earth

The external walls of the Cluster Villas display reflective glass mosaic tile finish. These walls enclose the axial passage to the main pavilion, reflects the sky and makes guests feel lighter as if they are walking on the clouds.

空の世界 

光を反射するモザイクタイルで作られた壁と壁の間を通り抜ける瞬間は、まるで雲の上を歩いているかのよう.

The Passage to Heaven

Intercontinental Phuket Resort
Intercontinental Phuket Resort

Perception of ‘heaven exists up above, not the ground’ is applied. This is represented by the stairs ascending to the main pavilion.

天国への通路 

メインパビリオン(天国)へと続く階段.

The Angel’s Floating Abode

Intercontinental Phuket Resort
Intercontinental Phuket Resort

In the Thai text, buildings which exist in heaven are believed to float in the sky, embraced by the sacred ocean. In the same way, the main pavilion is surrounded by a large lotus pond and the resort by the sea. This idea is reinforced by the reflection of the sky on the pond and the silver wall leading to the main pavilion.

天国は浮かんでいる 

「天国は空に浮かんでいる」というタイの古き文のように、メインパビリオンも蓮池に囲まれていて、まるで水辺に浮かんでいるイメージ.
