“Babylon reimagined”
Vũng Tàu, Việt Nam
Typology: Boutique Resort
Inspired by the ancient civilization of Babylon, this group of cabins offers a cross between glamping and resort-style living. The project opened a discussion about concepts such as artistic interpretation and cultural transmission.
The playful arrangement of the cabin makes it ideal for groups or families weekend retreats as well as couples wishing for a romantic getaway. To feel entertained and escape from the hustle and bustle of Saigon.
The complex hosts a bar and restaurant which welcome the guests throughout the day and night. The building has been designed to make full use of the uninterrupted view of the sea. The Mesopotamian architecture lies also in the fact that they clearly functioned as a vehicle for the Sumerian temple to enter into modern design. The structure stems from the ground and in turn, creates breathtaking viewing platforms for private dining and seating.
The open bar soaks in the marine vista. It is gently caressed by a balmy sun-kissed sea breeze while vertical timber logs offer adequate sun protection to the semi-indoor spaces. A perfect spot to allow your thoughts to travel through time.
