TALA AWARDS

Project Summary:

Hotel Labaris is a resort project situated on a narrow land plot embraced by the fascinating mountains of Nakhon Ratchasima. The enchanting and mysterious vibe of surrounding nature inspires a design concept of ‘Fairy Forest’ which is a blend of Khao Yai’s lush nature, and an accent of magical English garden, resulting in an adventurous experience in a mysterious, stunning and wonderful magical land. Divided into 4 zones, each zone narrates a chapter of a fairytale through a unique conceptual feature of the project, a maze. A maze in each zone has a different design that illustrates a concept of each fairytale chapter, and also weaves all chapters together into a whole one storyline. The winding mazes also elongate visitors’ experiences in spaces that are actually limited. An axis goes from the project entrance and cuts through the 4 zones forward the far back of the project, separating the whole area into 2 symmetrical sides. The Flower Valley Zone, located in the frontage area, consists of flowery mounds maze with winding walkways in-between. The 2-3 meters high mounds also visually shield the project area from outsiders. A café is hidden under a mound like a fairy underground house. In front of the café, lies a lawn catering for events or activities, such as concerts or wedding parties. Next to the Flower Valley zone is the 2nd zone, The Green Maze that consists of a reception building, hotel buildings, and a green maze. The vegetation maze invites guests from the reception to their rooms, adding dimensions and stories to the walkways, like a journey to a castle. Furthermore, the maze walkways that separately lead to each room provide more privacy for guests. The Infinite Forest is a narrow walkway with high bush walls on both sides cutting through the villas before opening up to a mirror maze in the middle of the zone. Offering visitors the experience of discovering a secret place in the deep forest with symmetrical winding walkways and enclosed with reflective walls, it creates an illusion of infinite walkways and space. The Endless Pool, a pool that is designed as an endless maze surrounded with various trees, creating a refreshing experience of swimming in a stream amongst deep green forest. The green space around the swimming pools expands and seamlessly continues to the natural area with a stream and forest at the back of the project.
