Abstract

Hulu Tamu Hot Springs is situated in Hulu Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia. The small village of Hulu Tamu tucked neatly among the green hills which are part of the Titiwangsa Range – the backbone of the peninsular. The geothermally heated mineral water gushes out of the veins in the ground. Its therapeutic properties are well acknowledged by the local Malay and Temuan communities as well as occasional visitors who knew of its existence. Over the years the local authorities and a few local entrepreneurs took interest in developing the site with a hot pool and a couple of restaurants serving local cuisine. The landscape design brief for this project was to enhance the hot spring and utilizes its available resources into a wellness spa of international standard. However, at the same time the design needs to respect the local topography and culture and brings benefits to the local community.
