Excerpt: Thanh Long Bay Gallery, an architectural project by Mia Design Studio, features landscape boxes that serve as a buffer between the interiors and the open-seaview outside. Each box contains its own landscape layer and is exploited differently in terms of lighting and landscape aspect. This design approach allows guests to fully enjoy nature while the building is well protected from weather changes and hurricanes.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Thanh Long Bay is located at Viet Nam’s coastal which is Ke Ga’s Lighthouse. The project has a model house section as well as being a welcome hall for new coming-to-town guests. Due to the main purpose of the building is for guests and showroom gallery, the inside space requires clearness with the capability of hosting numbers of people when needed.
The design criteria is to broaden the most space because of the seaview. In each separate space, the design team creates a long panorama frame horizontally so that the people inside can make the most out of the skyline. The weather aspect is carefully concerned which lead to the occurrence of deep and shallow awning incase of a hurricane.
The designers give the idea of landscape boxes which contain its own landscape layer and also play as a cushion between the people inside and the opened-seaview outside. Thanks to the capability of the extended construction system, the view is broadened. Each box is exploited differently in terms of lighting and landscape aspect. By this approach, guests can fully enjoy nature but the building is well protected from weather changes and hurricanes.
The designers use a long opened corridor in landscape to extend the usage of the building which also improves the experience of the guests. The main aspect is still the landscape and the view. They want the people who come to the Gallery to actually inhale the distinguishing atmosphere of the place in the most memorized way.
