At the end of 2018, we received a design project from a mountain town on the Lam Vien plateau - Da Lat, a tropical land but completely different with a year-round cool climate. This is a hotel located on two different plots of land with two different road frontages and different planning criteria. The client wants to have a unique design that balances the new and the old in the context.
Our design intent focuses on harmonizing with the natural context of Da Lat, seeking a design that retains its identity and is trendy at the same time. Since then, the hotel has had a strong identity while also meeting all legal requirements. The main inspiration of the project is the image of a combination of stacked houses. We want the hotel to be not only a temporary accommodation for our guests, but also a home for them to return to. By arranging the houses in a conventional way to avoid the grandeur and massiveness that a typical hotel often brings, the building volume is calculated to be subdivided to become closer.All these combinations create a project that has both the old features of Dalat tiled roof houses and a modern breath.
