Inspired by the majestic contours of nature and the regional culture of Lam River, the architects created a non-linear architectural mass, challenging the angularity of the urban environment. This 8m high structure is not a standard clubhouse, but a giant seashell or an architectural flow coiling around the swimming pool.
The roof structure is an iconic highlight, shaped by a system of gracefully curved, white-painted steel trusses. Each fold of the roof is not only a load-bearing element but also an opening for natural light and ventilation, simulating the temporal creases on the mountain, creating a soft visual transition between the sky and the ground.
With a total site area of 5,380 m² but a construction density of only 9.8%, the Clubhouse is a lesson in proportional modesty and absolute prioritization of the landscape.
SENSORY QUALITY AND EXPERIENCE: THE DIALOGUE OF MATERIALS
The distinctive feature of the design philosophy lies in the contrast of materials.
• Guột Roof – The Organic Skin: Instead of industrial materials, the roof is covered with Gleicheniaceae (guột), a handcrafted, natural material. This natural skin not only provides covering but also acts as a microclimate filter, keeping the space below cool and offering a unique tactile quality. Over time, the guột roof will change its hue, further blending into the layer of lush green vegetation clinging to it.
•Interior – The Authenticity of Surfaces: Stepping inside, one encounters the authenticity of the materials
o Raw concrete ceilings and board-formed concrete walls, delivering a robust, primal feel.
o Polished concrete floors reflect natural light from the large glass partitions, enhancing the depth and openness of the space.
o In the Gym + Yoga Area, wood material is celebrated with reddish-brown oak wood flooring, creating a warm feeling that perfectly contrasts with the lush green scenery outside
SPACE AND FUNCTIONALITY: COMMUNITY BUILDING
