I inked it after failing to draw it on my dying computer. This came out much better with pen, anyway.
The Hotel Cha Am in Thailand
A project by Duangrit Bunnag.
“The Hotel Cha Am (originally known as Alila Cha Am) is a seventy nine room resort next to the beach of Cha Am, small vacation city in Petchaburi, Thailand. We worked on all design aspects of the hotel: Architecture, Interior design and Landscape architecture. The project is recognised through its boldly geometry and blunt architectural dialogue. Underneath the simple geometries of the project lies the complex thought of materiality and architectural composition vocabulary. Thus, despite those hash modern languages, the natural coherence exists, still.”

Face Of The City series by Dan Bergeron
In his Face of the City series, Toronto-based artist Dan Bergeron (aka Fauxreel) examines the identity of cities by juxtaposing the “abrasive charm found in the distressed surfaces of modern cities with the intimate familiarity of the prominent features of the human face”.
Casa KiKe by Gianni Botsford
By coupling indigenous techniques and materials with modern design technologies and aesthetics GBA has created this intimate double pavilion for a writer in Costa Rica.
A main studio space, with library, writing desk and grand piano, is the writer’s daytime space. The pavilion’s wooden structure, sourced from local timber, sits on a simple foundation of wooden stilts on small concrete pad foundations. Roof beams of up to 10 m long and 355 mm deep allow for an interior with no vertical columns. The mono-pitched roof elevates towards the sea shore, while the interior is through ventilated via a completely louvred glazed end façade.
Set at a short distance along a raised walkway, a second smaller pavilion mirrors the first. This contains sleeping quarters and a bathroom. Externally, the pavilions are clad in corrugated steel sheeting, another locally used construction material. The overall effect is that of a building which blends with its surroundings, both visually and environmentally.
