Located on a tranquil corner of Koh Samui, Thailand, our island beachfront design is made of 3 contrasting parcels that create varying experiences for the guests of this 145 room new build hotel. A striking terraced garden steps down through the heart of the site echoing the plots previous function as a coconut plantation. The architecture much like the central landscaped park grows from the ground in an organic manner.
The pavilions of the beach club take inspiration from the elegance and form of giant lilies, each floating on a pool of water. Their height and small plan size follow the islands strict beach planning restrictions.
The dynamic blade walls of the guest room blocks grow from the ground, providing privacy whilst opening up to the sea views and enveloping the central zen garden. The rear section of the site is home to the co-working space and 2 contrasting spa designs at ground level, all set around a cascading water garden. In keeping with the Kyoi brand, further inspiration has been drawn from minimalist Japanese architecture and landscape design.
