SIZE

BUDGET
Undisclosed
Site: Shabazhen - China
Date: 2014
Client: Confidential
Area: 70,000 mq
Type of work: Concept and design development
GBPA was asked to project a luxury resort in the South of China. The concept phase was completed in January; now the team is working on the design development phase. The construction is due to start in April. The overall project is inspired by a division of the space in hexagonal and pentagonal cells, according to Voronoi’s idea. Merging shapes and function, these cells host a large SPA surrounded by small villas for private treatments, a hotel and a residence composed by three towers. The project is dominated by the relationship between man and nature.
The SPA blossoms from the ground like a flower, expressing its close relationship with the environment: it is composed by a central body and three large pentagonal petals. The green flat roof not only is thought to be a functional space, but its shapes and colour also link it with the surrounding territory. Given all that, water, prime element for life, could not be left out: the SPA includes also a swimming pool and an entertainment area with a water park and a private club. Both the towers and the hotel, surrounded by a large green area and by an entertainment park, set down on a single plate which links the entire complex. Unlike the SPA, which is a continuum with the nature, these two buildings show man’s intervention, even thought they can adapt with the territory that is hosting them.
