泰国华欣Baan San Ngam公寓

班圣岩为一个低层楼面海公寓，位于泰国班武里府离观光区较远的一区。红树林及构木林包为此基地，有远山为背景。

“Baan San Ngam”, a low rise beach front condominium is situated in the Prachuabkirikhan province of Thailand. Located away from the typical tourist area, the site is surrounded by mangroves and grove wood forest with the backdrop of mountainous terrain in the distant.

设计师从当地的海、沙丘、湿地、沼泽、土墩以及森林撷取多样生态的元素，在基地中形成有趣的地形以及地面纹理。以「自然与艺术」为概念发展，探讨如何将不同的形状、颜色以及材质结合不同的生态元素，例如当水渗入沙子时是如何流动的。

The varying ecological elements within the area from the sea, dunes, swamp, swale, mound and forest scape provides the site with an interesting topography and ground texture for the designer to experiment with. The concept of “Nature vs. Art” is explored in studying the translation of different shapes, colour and textures when different ecological elements merge into each other such as how water reacts when it flows and penetrate through sand.

由6种生态元素主导的设计概念形成的泳池几乎含盖整个基地范围，模拟出水流向大海的意象。以一系列的小草丘平衡了原本平整的地面，同时激发居民在此进行各样的活动。在泳池的边缘，以倾斜的设计打造不同的高度和台阶，减缓从泳池溢出的水，转译了土壤侵蚀的自然现象。

The main concept plays on the transition between these 6 ecological elements by creating a natural form of the swimming pool covering most area of the site to mimic the flowing of the sea. Furthermore, a series of small grass dunes are created and placed throughout the landscape area in order to create a balance with the flat surface of ground cover and to also encourage various activities by the residents. Along the edges of the pool, a slanted run-off edge was designed playing with different heights and level resembling a stepped terrain to slow the runoff water from the pool and also to reflect the natural formation of soil erosion.

在泳池中，模拟鸟巢的样子打造出较为封闭的下沉座位区，给人温暖及安全的感觉。

Pockets of sunken seating space is placed inside the swimming pool according to the client’s brief of creating an enclosed area resembling a bird’s nest giving the sense of a warm and secure territory.

植物的选择同样以前面提及到的6种生态元素为主，提高整体品质，尽可能模彷大自然的型态。

The idea behind the selection of types of plants to relate to each of the 6 ecological elements mentioned is to enhance the atmospheric quality to resemble the natural environment as much as possible.

以「沙丘」开始，选用的植物为耐风及耐海风的植物，他们通常具有肥厚以及阔叶的特色。茂盛的绿叶植物配置于「沼泽」区域，同时有多彩的花朵、树木和地被植物。小而精緻的地被植物代表「土墩」区。最后，「森林」区被配置在基地的边缘，高大的树种扮演对外的屏障，同时提高属于森林的氛围。

Starting with the Dune area where the selection of plants are durable to wind and sea breeze. They will have the characteristic of thick and large leaves. Luscious, green plants are selected for the Swamp area while colourful flowers, trees and ground cover plants are chosen for the Swale area. In the Mound area, ground cover plants with small and delicate leaves are chosen. Lastly, the Forest area along the edges of the project site contains big and tall trees to act as both a barrier to the outside and also emphasize the atmospheric quality to the ‘forest’.

总结班圣岩这个项目，它重视基地内外的环境，并将其融入景观设计，着重于建筑实用性的同时尊重「珍贵的大自然」。

All in all, “Baan San Ngam” condominium project truly pays attention to the surrounding environment within and around the site and incorporate it into the landscape design which not only practical to the function of the architectural design but also respect and acknowledge the idea of “The precious nature”.
