Kapuhala热带农场和静修中心是苏梅岛上一处全新的精品度假村，内设5个豪华帐篷房和4个独立海景“农舍”，从每个房间都能欣赏苏梅岛最美海滩之一查汶海滩。重新建立起人与自然之间的紧密联系是Area-17建筑与室内设计创作该项目的初衷，这个着手点贯穿项目始终，旨在消除对宁静的室外环境和舒适的室内空间之间的不同感知。

Kapuhala Koh Samui Tropical Farm and Training Retreat is a new boutique resort on Samui Island, featuring 5 luxury tent residences and 4 independent Seaview “farmhouses”, all with a breathtaking view of Chaweng Noi, one of the island’s most beautiful beach. The possibility of re-establishing a strong connection between human and nature was the main idea that guided the Area-17 Architecture & Interiors project, whose approach was focused on annulling the perception of the detachment between the serene outdoor environment and the comfort of indoor spaces.

 

 

半永久性豪华帐篷的环保设计意味着它们可以被轻松地拆解和搬迁，对自然环境造成最小的生态损害。悬空的露台从帐篷中伸出来，仿佛它们要触摸大海一般，这个设计沿用于整个建筑群。事实上，当你通过不起眼的木制侧门进到接待处，便会立刻被郁郁葱葱的热带植物所环绕的壮丽海景迷住。

The eco-conscious design of the semi-permanent luxury tents means they can easily be deconstructed and relocated, with a minimal residual ecological damage to the natural environment.  From the tents, suspended terraces reach out as if they want to touch the sea, a consistent presence throughout the whole complex. In fact, entering the reception through an inconspicuous wooden side door, one is captivated by the stunning views of the ocean framed by the lush tropical vegetation in the surroundings.

 

 

地平线与主建筑的极简主义风格平静地相互映衬，却被唯一的一棵穿透屋顶全景露台的棕榈树巧妙地打断，在那里你可以找到苏梅岛上的第一家纯植物美食餐厅。菜单上每款精致的佳肴都只用最新鲜的时令食材，或从Kapuhala自家农场和微型绿色水培温室现场采摘，或从附近的当地农场采购。

The horizon line inspired the minimalist architecture of the main building, interrupted exclusively by a palm tree that pierces the panoramic terrace rooftop where one can find the first exclusively plant-based gourmet restaurant on Koh Samui. The refined cuisine features an entire menu that includes only fresh picked seasonal ingredients that are either grown on-site at Kapuhala’s natural farm and microgreens aquaponic greenhouse, or sourced from neighboring local farms.

 

 

除了最先进的健身房，客人们还可以在25米长的无边泳池中锻炼或放松。这里的建筑在材料上也与周围环境相结合，鼓励人们从被建造的人类世界转向一个维度，在那里，内在的自我最终融入自然而不妥协。

In addition to a state-of-the-art gym, guests can exercise or relax in the 25 meters infinity pool. The architecture here also binds materialistically to the surrounding environment, encouraging a shift from the constructed human world, to a dimension where the inner self finally dissolves into nature without compromise.
