Located on the quiet Na Jomtien beach in Thailand, between the fishermen’s village and the city of Pattaya, Mason by Vaslab Architecture rests on a 15m-high granite hill inclining down to the sea, where Ang Sila, the local stonemasonry community is nearby. The resort consists of 35-unique-pool-villas and its facilities, including a restaurant, spa, fitness, pool and beachside bar.
C-shaped concrete villas are sculpted into “caves” and natural stones and other materials are integrated into the project as to create the minimum impact to the existing hillside site. The combination of material mastery and detail is also carved into concrete, terrazzo, wood, glass, in collaboration by the local artisans’ craftsmanship.
