SAND DUNE RETREAT
“SAND DUNE RETREAT” is the heart of the Ninh Phước Resort project—a defining highlight of contemporary resort architecture along Ninh Phước Bay. Guided by the philosophy “Nature shapes the architecture,” the pavilion is conceived as an organic sculpture where the boundary between humans and the native ecosystem is nearly dissolved.
Beneath a soaring bamboo structural roof and layers of natural thatch (guột leaves), the project reinterprets raw materials such as bamboo, thatch, natural stone, and textured plaster through a fluid architectural language. The program is consolidated into a single open volume, where Reception – Dining – Wellness functions are seamlessly integrated while maximizing natural ventilation to minimize carbon footprint.
Every detail, from the handcrafted stone bar to the private treatment spaces, is designed with a singular purpose: healing Body – Mind – Spirit. SAND DUNE RETREAT is not just a destination, but a symbol of sustainable architecture—where the building breathes with the ocean and becomes a living legacy for the future.
