Hidden within the lush tropical landscape of Koh Lanta, this eco resort is conceived as a quiet dialogue between architecture and nature. A place where built form gently dissolves into the forest, respecting its rhythms, light, and silence. The masterplan unfolds through a constellation of organic, circular pavilions, connected by soft pathways that follow the land’s natural geometry.

Elevated from the ground, the structures preserve the soil and allow the vegetation to breathe, creating an intimate and immersive experience. Each bungalow is crafted with local, natural materials—bamboo, wood, and vegetal roofs—drawing inspiration from vernacular architecture and reinterpreting it through a contemporary, sustainable lens. Curved roofs provide shade and shelter, while open façades invite light, air, and the surrounding jungle inside. Interior spaces are minimal and warm, designed to frame nature rather than compete with it. Boundaries between inside and outside blur, offering moments of stillness, contemplation, and connection. This project envisions architecture as a living extension of the landscape, shaped by climate, materials, and a deep respect for the natural environment.
