Casa De La Flora Beachfront Suite Pool VillaThailand, Khao Lak

Designed by VaSLab Architecture, this beachfront resort aims to serve as a new high profile but yet humble destination hotel in this beautiful area southern Thailand. nThe brief given to the architect is a unique resort that consist a series of pool villas with maximum ocean views possible. Facilities as reception lounge, swimming pool, pool bar, beachfront restaurant, spa, fitness, and library are the must-have programs in this hotel. The owner challenges the architect to create a bold look of architecture but yet yields to warmness and nature after its implied name, flora.

VaSLab's metaphorical design takes on the act of arising flora, where each concrete versus wood villa reflects as a flora form, emerges from the ground, and blooms to reach the daylight. Deviated walls and tilted roofs are characterised throughout the series of 36 cubic-form villas, where these tapered elements do not only recall the act of arising flora but they widen the rooms' perspective frames when looking outward to the sea. The continuity of these lines can be seen also in interior space and at interior elements such as built-in beds, coffee tables, and built-in cabinets. Custom-made furniture designed by Anon Pairot Design Studio carries this thematic design as some of them represent organic form of a flora.

The same as landscape and hardscape work from a talented designer T.R.O.P., who extends the lines of architecture into a set of charming path ways, pavement blocks, green walls, etc., as they act like its architecture's root, stem, and branches. APLD, the lighting designer, abstractly sets the resort's lighting to provoke the main architectural elements; deviated walls, tilted roofs, as if the villa cubes are arising above the ground. Located directly on the beautiful, palm-fringed beach of Khao Lak, just one-hour drive, by car from Phuket International Airport. This ultimate design resort with stunning Andaman views as well as its friendly service warmly welcome visitors from across the globe.
