芭提雅希尔顿酒店的屋顶花园Hilton Pattaya Landscaping by TROP

 

 

 

Our Scope of Hilton Pattaya includes the Hotel Drop Off Area (Ground Floor) and The Hotel Garden (16th Floor).The Garden of Hilton Pattaya is basically built on a roof of a Huge Shopping Mall, Central Festival Pattaya Beach.When we got the commission to do the project, the Mall was already built. So let's say that we can't revise any structure to make it the better site condition.
 
When we first visit the site, we noticed three important elements:
1 There is a Gigantic Skylight in the Middle of the roof. 
     - This Skylight is to bring Sunlight down to the Mall.
     - It can't bear any load on it. So we can't use it as part of the Garden.
     - To make it worse, Central didn't have Budget to decorate this Skylight at all, so it is half Glass and half Concrete (which we ended up putting Faked Grass on it)
2 The Left-over areas
     - Because the Skylight is right in the middle of the Roof, we ended up having only small and narrow areas around it for the Garden.
     - Within our already-limited areas, we must locate Gym and Toilets somewhere as well.
3 The Irregular Edge of the Roof
     - The Mall has an interesting in and out facade.
     - However, the Edge made it so hard for us to design the Clean and Simple Garden we want.

 

Our first move is to deal with the area around the Skylight. We used the Resort Design Principle to divide and organize the roof into 3 Main Garden Parts.
1 Arrival Court
     - The Hotel Lobby is located on the 17th Floor. Once the guests get out of the elevators, this Arrival Court will be the first thing they see.
     - We don't want our Guests to see another guests walking around in Bikinis here, so we closed this area.
     - The Concept of DEPT's Lobby Design is "Shallow Water", so we continued the story and cover our Arrival Court with Sand and Green Landform.
2 Sun Deck
     - As I mentioned, we don't have much space left around the Skylight.
     - However, we must put Gym and Toilets in this already-tight space.
     - So we proposed the idea of adding another Layer of Garden on top, by extending the Gym and Toilet Roof all the way to the Hotel.
     - What we got is the Reasonable-size Deck with a direct access from 18th Floor (1 floor above the Lobby).
     - The good thing is that Guests who dress casually to swim, don't have to walk through the Lobby, which will be full of Arriving and Leaving Guests.
3 Ocean Pool
     - We don't have much choice about where to locate the Pool. This is the only area big enough to do so.
     - However, there is a problem of the Irregular Edge of the Mall.
     - We try to avoid adding another complicate design here, so we just use one simple Curve to define the Pool.
     - Underneath the water, we separate the pool into Lap Pool, Fun Pool, Jacuzzi Maze, and Kid Pool.
     - Inspired by Shiny School of Fish, we asked Dazzles, Lighting Designer, to add Fiber Optic on the Bottom of the Pool. So, at night, the Pool grows like those fish or stars.....
 
Well, that's a short version of the Concept.
By the way, I also attach our early 3d Renderings here, so I hope they would help giving you the better understanding of the Design.

 

 

 

“Our specialty is Clean and Elegant Landscape Design, trying not to call it "Modern" though.Our Philosophy is that we "custom-make" all of our projects, trying our best to design a garden specially unique for each of our sites.”----Pok Kobkongsanti, Design Director，T.R.O.P. : terrains + open space

 

 

 

 

这是芭提雅希尔顿酒店的花园，花园位于巨大的购物中心之上，是一个屋顶花园，在设计师开始设计的时候，商场已经建好了，因此不能为了设计而修改任何的结构。
设计师到达场地后发现：（1）屋顶有个巨型天窗：可以把光带到商场；不能承受任何荷载，设计是不能加以利用；预算当中不包括装饰这个天窗的钱，天窗一半是玻璃一半是混凝土，混凝土的部分被设计师伪装成为了草。（2）天窗占了中间的区域，因此只能在天窗周边狭窄地区设计；区域如此有限，还必须为健身房和卫生间留出场地。（3）异型屋顶：这是因为购物中心的入口空间造成；这样的边缘使设计要做到简洁很难。
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

设计师巧妙的处理场地关系，使之分为三个部分。（1）入口。酒店大堂就在这里，17层。客人将从电梯到达这里。当他们看院子时，可以直接看见泳池周围穿比基尼的人，因此设计师把这里处理成单独封闭的区域。延续大堂设计的概念，并植入景观设计的要素。（2）阳光甲板：如前所述空间不多，还要这里放健身房和卫生间。因此我们将健身房和厕所的屋顶利用，并与花园很好的联系，18层的酒店客人还能从这里到花园。设置了合理的流线让游泳的客人不穿越大厅回到自己的房间。（3）花园只有一个地方能放下足够大的泳池，没有选择，泳池就放在这里了。虽然屋顶边缘不规则，但是泳池还是用简单的曲线定义出来，并分为游泳池，戏水池，水力按摩池，儿童池。受到鱼群的启发，在池底做了丰富的灯光设计，在夜间，池底就像有丰富的鱼群和星星。
