Bawa | Tropical Hotel Waters: Verandahs, Old Trees & The Horizon

The swimming pool is not an independent facility, but the final segment of the entire circulation path: one first passes through a dimly lit, low-ceilinged corridor, where columns segment the external light. Upon reaching the end, the view suddenly opens up, with the water surface, a row of old tree trunks, and then the sea horizon appearing sequentially, visually overlapping to form a continuous horizontal band. The pool's shape is simple, the water color is deep, and its edge is flush with the floor, making it difficult to discern where the water begins. The architecture uses white walls, dark wood structures, and red tiles, with no glass curtain walls. Shot from the dark interior of the corridor looking outwards, with columns and shadows in the foreground, and water, trees, and the sea in sequence in the background. Avoid: changing the corridor to bright and open, adding raised pool edges and railings to the pool, cutting down the old shade trees, incorporating vibrant resort color schemes.

泳池不是一個獨立的設施,而是整條動線的最後一段:人先穿過一道昏暗的低矮回廊,柱列把外面的光切成一段一段,走到盡頭時視野突然打開,前方依序是水面、一排老樹的樹幹、然後是海平線,三者在視覺上疊成連續的水平帶。池的形狀單純,水色偏深,邊緣與地板同高,人不容易分辨水從哪裡開始。建築用白牆、深色木構與紅瓦,沒有玻璃帷幕。從回廊的暗處往外拍攝,前景是柱與陰影,後方依序是水、樹與海。避免:回廊改為明亮開放、泳池加設高起的池緣與欄杆、砍掉遮蔭的老樹、加入鮮豔的度假村配色。
