The design uses the five meter height difference of the ground to create vertical spaces and an ascending view.

Stone and aluminum plate are used on the facade.

Binh Chau Minera

Binh Chau Minera is a hot springs resort set in a forest in Binh Chau, Vietnam. The Guest House is the core facility and is designed as a new forest vessel that is integrated with the existing forest. An artificial ground extends from the ground to the second floor level, so the impression of the forest continues inside the building. At the other entrance, water and plants are arranged like a waterfall on the cut surface of the ground. A column-free atrium of 18 by 18 meters carries a polyhedral steel roof and guides the flow of visitors.
