In one of the most prime natural resources
in Krabi, The TubKaak Boutique Resort is uniquely located on a site facing a marvelous
beachfront with islands lining up in the distance. The stunning surrounding is
also abundant with natural resources. For example, the rear part of the resort
site is adjacent to a national park. The mountain provides great benefit to the
site and is a source of a natural creek that flows through the resort. With
this unique condition, the entire site is covered and crowed with mature plants
and healthy trees. The beach is also lavish with a natural stream flowing
through the valley.
MASTER PLAN CONCEPT
The design concept of the master plan was to emphasize on
preserving existing environment as much as possible. To take best advantage of
the surroundings, our design had achieved one of the goal in site planning that
to locate all guest rooms and hotel buildings onto the site with least
interfering with the present of the existing trees, which were very valuable to
the project overall atmosphere.
LANDSCAPE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
The arrival area is on the high side of the site. Guest
would then walks across the area on the board walk high above ground to the
reception area at the lobby which are located at the same level as the top of
the trees crown. A main axis of visual and pedestrian corridor were aimed
towards the cluster islands in the bay thus guest could impress with this
magnificent view of the site. The main open area in the site that has less
trees were designated as the resort main swimming pool area that form as open
space and view for the guest rooms that does not have sea view.
