Z9 Resort
Z9 Resort is a floating resort perched on Srinakarin Dam,
Kanchanaburi. The resort utilises natural ventilation, with the
shapes and color of the buildings intimately blended in with the
attractiveness of mountain and lake view. Sustainable design
approaches were employed, based upon the “3R” concept of
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Old wood was reused as part of the resort decorations. A
reduction of materials used was achieved by the design, which
required very-few site contour adjustments. A light-weight steel
structure was also used. For recycling, some of the existing
wood was quite large, hence they are repurposed and used for
building indoor furniture. A closed circuit water treatment was
also designed to treat the water before draining into the lake.
