Chiva-som Spa Resort is a world-famous health resort and spa in Hua Hin on the Gulf of Thailand coast about two hours south of Bangkok. This project is a second property located in a lush, pristine vallay in Khao Kho, Phetchabon province, in northern central Thailand. Seeking an alternative atmosphere from the original site on the sea, the project owner chose this mountain setting with its verdant, natural beauty for a resort in the local architectural style, based on the traditions of Thailands northern Lanna culture. The hilly site presented construction challenges, so the buildings were put on stilts with open space below. Inn addition to embodying the Lanna style, this design provide the flexibility needed for the inclines, plus had the least possible impact on the environment. Lanna-style roofs made the structures more compact, resulting in the least obstruction of scenic views for adjacent buildings. Like authentic Lanna villages, the houses follow the contour of the land. The layout places a premium on privacy and provides the maximum scenic view.
