건축 속에 삽입된 자연은 공간을 정의하는 주요한 모티브이자 매개체로 공간과 사람을 연결한다. 타이완, 선문 호수 근처에 위치한 럭셔리 리조트 호텔 '라루'의 건축적 특징은 워터프론트에 위치한 장소성을 투영한 중정형 폰드가 공간 중심에 자리하며 내부공간을 연속시키는 구심점이자 외부공간과 내부공간을 연결하는 매개체 역활에서 찾아 볼 수 있다. 이는 매우 리니어한 대지환경 -폭 30미터, 길이 120미터의 대지는 매우 길쭉한 골짜기와 30미터 거리로 마주하고 있다.- 과 매우 혼잡한 어반 컨텍스트 -수변지역에 난재된 도시환경-를 버퍼하는 수렴형 공간 창출을 위해 제안, 설계되며 이와같이 분리된 공간 속에 라루가 추구하는 진정한 럭셔리를 상징적으로 표출하게 된다. 무엇보다 공간을 지배하는 워터스케이프가 생성하는 심플, 모던 그리고 고요함이 이곳을 방문하는 투숙객들에게 안정과 휴식을 위한 셀터로 제공됨으로써 라루만의 고유한 가치 생성하는데 의의가 있다.

The “Lalu” which is owned by the client of this project is one of the most prestigious resort hotels located in the scenic Sun-Moon Lake area in Taiwan. In the meanwhile, the “Lalu” also becomes the spiritual symbol of the enterprise for our client. Thus, a spacious atmosphere of leisure and hospitality resemble to the “Lalu” becomes a design motif requested by the client for this project. But the surrounding of the site is a chaotic urban context which is totally different from the scenic Sun-Moon Lake area. How to create a Utopia in an urban site becomes the challenge for this project.

The project is a temporary building used for the promotion of a real estate project named “Exquisite Minimalist “ which will be built on the same site in the future. The site is 30 meter in width and 120 meter in depth. The front of the site is facing a narrow alley. The main building is recessed 30 meter from the alley to reserve a buffer zone for parking and landscaping.
Inspired by the “Lalu” which is located nearby the waterfront, the waterscape is introduced to be the primary design concept for this project. The atmosphere of leisure and hospitality of the project is achieved by the simple, reflective and tranquil features of the waterscape in the complicated urban context.
The approaching ramp flanked by the white boundary wall is leading to the entry bridge on the moat-like waterscape in front of the main façade. The planting with a gesture of open arms in the middle of water gives a warm welcome to the coming guests.
