Stacked Glass Volumes: Waterfall Pool Flows Down the Facade

A seaside resort hotel, with its mass composed of several huge glass boxes stacked in a staggered manner. A portion of the middle section is deliberately removed to form a large, penetrating opening, allowing a view through to the sky behind. At the upper edge of the opening is a suspended infinity pool, with water overflowing from the edge, forming a 90-meter-high water curtain. The facade is a dark blue and silver glass curtain wall, with irregular divisions, like cut crystal. The base features a large water feature and palm trees. Photographed at dusk, the glass reflects the orange sky, and the water curtain glows against the backlight. Avoid: massing stacked in regular steps, a small opening, regular grid divisions on the facade, inclusion of curved towers.

一棟濱海度假飯店,量體由數個巨大的玻璃盒體錯位堆疊而成,中段刻意抽掉一部分形成一個貫穿的巨大開口,可以看穿到後方的天空。開口的上緣有一座懸空的無邊際泳池,水從邊緣溢流而下,形成一道從 90 公尺高落下的水簾。立面是深藍與銀色的玻璃帷幕,分割是不規則的,像切開的水晶。底部是大片的水景與棕櫚。黃昏拍攝,玻璃反射橘色的天空,水簾在逆光中發亮。避免:量體堆疊成規則的階梯、開口做小、立面使用規則的方格分割、加入曲線造型的塔樓。
