Abstract

With a semi-circled configuration of lodge units that captures the frontal view of the vast landscape and rear view of the therapy centre with an integration of outdoor spatial sequences, Ngu Xian Dung’s proposed site plan clearly captures the advantages of the site. As the buildings with colours imitating nature are lower than trees, they are obscured and shaded by trees. This enhances the visual experience and celebration tantalised by the different layering of shapes, light and shade, variety of hues and the mysticism of the unseen and unanticipated. A unified overall composition is culminated by the therapy centre located in the central point of the semi-circle. Due to its close proximity to the existing reception office and the dense groups of trees at the site boundary, the purpose of the therapy centre serves best in terms of accessibility, privacy, and views as well as for rejuvenating and healing.
