Lotus Clubhouse was conceived as a living organism that breathes in harmony with the terrain and surrounding natural environment. Rather than standing as an isolated architectural object, the building appears to emerge from the ground itself, shaped by natural slopes, layers of vegetation, and its orientation toward the lake. From the earliest design stages, the project was defined as a continuous dialogue between architecture, landscape, and local context. As a result, the boundaries between built form and nature gradually dissolve, allowing the clubhouse to exist simultaneously as architecture and landscape, a place of shelter for people and an extended habitat for nature.
Guided by this approach, the clubhouse is composed of multiple small volumes distributed beneath the forest canopy across a usable area of approximately 2,000 square meters. Each functional block is positioned at different elevations and connected through curving pathways and reflective water surfaces, creating a spatial journey that shifts between openness and enclosure, brightness and shade. Active spaces such as the restaurant and children’s play area open toward the lake, while quieter functions including the spa, lounge, and meditation areas are embedded deeper within shaded greenery. From a distance, the dispersed layout allows the building to visually recede into the landscape, minimizing its presence while enriching the sensory experience through light, wind, and water.
Sustainability is most clearly expressed through the project’s multi-layered green roof system. Three main roof clusters, composed of circular forms at varying heights, create a soft, undulating topography that blends into the surrounding forest canopy. Fully planted with native species, the roofs form a self-sustaining micro-ecosystem that reduces heat gain, supports natural cooling, provides habitat for wildlife, and filters rainwater before returning it to the lake. Integrated within selected roof areas, solar panels are discreetly incorporated to harness renewable energy and support the clubhouse’s daily operations, reinforcing a low-impact and energy-conscious approach. Roof heights rise gradually toward the center, where larger modules are positioned, while smaller, lower roofs extend outward. Each roof module functions like a water-collecting funnel, gently guiding rainwater back into the landscape while regulating daylight and reducing direct solar exposure. Through this integrated system, tropical adaptive architecture is expressed as a seamless alignment of form, ecology, energy, and function.
Viewed from the water, the clubhouse rests lightly on the landscape, almost as if floating. Its height of 7.2 meters is carefully calibrated to maintain harmony with the surrounding villas while preserving uninterrupted views across the site. The design conveys a clear architectural stance: identity is not derived from spectacle, but from restraint, refinement, and sensitivity to context.
At a deeper level, Lotus Clubhouse presents a quiet yet purposeful statement on sustainability. Architecture here is conceived as a living ecosystem rather than a singular object, where built space and nature coexist in balance. Through its humility and environmental responsiveness, the project offers a contemporary interpretation of resort architecture rooted in respect for the natural world.
