树屋,起源于远古时期,人类为了躲避禽兽虫蛇、潮湿水汽的侵害,从而在树上筑巢为室,与树共生,与自然融合。
在印度洋安达曼海东南部的泰国普吉岛上,就有这样一片诗意的栖息地,以树屋房型为主打的Keemala度假村酒店犹如安达曼海明珠上的一抹翡绿,返璞归真。夜晚在繁星中坠入大自然的梦乡,清晨在森林的枝桠间醒来,与曾经仅为了遮风避雨的树屋不同,建造在森林里的Keemala度假村酒店更倾向于让人在叶子、果实和鸟巢中找到一片「 诗意的栖息地」。
大隐隐于林
Keemala度假村酒店隐匿于芭东雨林深处,卡马拉村落与安达曼海无声守护着。原始木材的清香彻夜不散,鸟巢般的居所与清澈湛蓝的泳池辉映成奇幻的镜像。大海、溪流、瀑布、植被相互构筑着人与自然相处下的慢生活。
Keemala度假村酒店是一座建在森林里的鸟笼酒店,酒店被郁郁葱葱的树林笼罩着,远离普吉岛喧嚣的西海岸,与普吉岛上最热闹繁华的芭东区保持着恰到好处的距离,居于其中既能感受到芭东的鲜活,又可以享受雨林周围的静谧。在别墅林立的普吉岛仙境中,酒店外观上虽保留着与众不同的原始树屋设计,但堪称是普吉岛最奢华的酒店。
酒店的每间屋子都是根据地形条件选定其坐落的位置,因此酒店房间或是悬挂在树上,或是伫立在丛林中,为了将位置不同的房间串联起来,设计师在丛林中搭建出交错纵横又便捷高效、遵循自然的通道,将38座带有大厅、游泳池、温泉浴室以及三大餐厅的别墅连成网状结构,并在房间周围设置环绕的私人泳池寻求独立性。沿着丛林通道漫步,便会发现所有房屋的外观材料都选用了贴近自然的石头和茅草等天然材料,因此完全看不出现代建筑的痕迹,几乎和周围的自然融为一体,具有强烈的原始感。
房间的内饰风格也秉承着原始感的设计,采用传统泰式技艺制作而成的星星灯具、天然石头打磨出造型的浴缸和洗手盘、独特部落图案绘制的墙面等装饰,细节中处处流露着酒店既原始又奢华的风格追求。
原始与奢华并存
Keemala度假村酒店里最为奢华的装饰品莫过于满目可见的小溪、瀑布、高耸入云的树木、一望无际的印度洋风光,这些都是酒店的组成元素。酒店建筑设计由Space Architects操刀,联合Pisit Aongskultong进行室内设计,他们别出心裁地以大地和天空,流浪和归属为主题,从当地的四大远古部落中寻求设计灵感,即代表大地的“Pa-Ta-Pea”部落;代表漫步者的“Khon-Jorn”部落;代表天空的“We-Ha”部落;代表巢穴的“Rung-Nok”部落。并从每个部落的自身特点中借鉴其生活方式及建筑形式融入到酒店的打造中。
酒店的陶土泳池度假屋就是代表大地的“Pa-Ta-Pea”部落的灵感实践。代表大地的“Pa-Ta-Pea”部落由勤劳的农夫、渔夫、园艺师、木匠、铁匠和矿工组成,他们坚信自己与大地的紧密联系,会对健康带来益处。于是设计师便以此为灵感,将房屋建在扎实的大地上,将泥土融入墙壁、屋顶和家具建造中,用土壤黏合成睡床,通过一系列取材于土壤的元素搭建出淳朴低奢的房间。
代表着流浪于地球上的游牧民、表演者、商人和探险家的“Khon-Jorn”部落,他们会与在旅途中遇到的其他部落的人进行物品交易。由于习惯于游牧生活方式,这些冒险流浪者更愿意构建半永久的家,方便迁移。设计师汲取了这样的理念,在房型设计中设计出了七套具有冒险精神的帐篷泳池别墅。
“We-Ha”部落的成员则是具有探索宇宙哲学能力的治疗师、创作者、建筑师和发明家。设计师以他们所拥有的创造力和自由度为灵感借鉴,设计出了代表天空主题的房间,将房屋悬于地面之上,赋予其与其他部落完全不同的生活方式。
同样拥有丰富创造力和想象力的“Rung-Nok”部落成员则为具有智慧的优秀艺术家、音乐家、占星家、哲学家和诗人。这些部落成员坚信占星术能够预测未来。他们认为沐浴在月光下,灵魂将会得以焕然一新,因此,酒店设计师在以归属为主题的房间外部采用了编織缠绕的鸟巢设计,以半开放的巢穴房型融洽在自然中,归属于月光之下。
古老部落的生活特色,归于自然的建筑形式,使得Keemala度假村酒店在众多普吉岛奢华酒店中独树一帜,夜观繁星,晨醒鸟鸣,眠于Keemala度假村酒店中,仿佛是做了一晚森林的精灵。
