老挝琅勃拉邦，Avani+酒店 / XSiTE Design Studio

XSiTE Design Studio：Avani+是一家位於老撾瑯勃拉邦的豪華酒店，兩層樓高的酒店共有53間經典的現代客房，其設計靈感來自該鎮傳統的​​老撾建築和法國殖民建築，為世界各地來參觀該鎮世界文化遺產的遊客們提供可負擔的奢華居住體驗。

XSiTE Design Studio：Avani+ in Luang Prabang is a two-floor elegant luxury hotel with 53 rooms in contemporary classic and inspired by the town's traditional Lao and French colonial architectures. It welcomes for travellers from around the world to visit this UNESCO World heritage site and seek for affordable luxury experience.

項目場地遺址可以追溯到1941年，距今已有100多年的歷史，該地曾是一位法國軍官的住所，後來又被老撾政府改造，自1961年起成為福斯酒店。它坐落在市中心的朝發園和Kitsalat路的交匯處，附近有各種旅遊景點，如夜市、Wat Hua Xiang、皇家宮廷博物院和普西山等。這是這個城市最擁擠的地區之一，設計必須遵循聯合國教科文組織的建築和景觀指導方針，在妥善保護現有樹木的同時，還要契合瑯勃拉邦的世界文化遺產脈絡，具備獨特的洞見和歷史意義。景觀自然會為酒店營造簡約典雅的環境氛圍，讓酒店與朗普拉邦的城市背景相融合，成為這個城市的一部分。

Site history can trace back over 100 years in 1941 as a French officer's quarter then has been adapted by Lao government and became Phusi Hotel since 1961. It situates in the heart of city at the intersection of Chao Fa Ngum and Kitsalat road with various tourist attractions nearby such as the night market, Wat Hua Xiang, Royal Palace Museum, and Phousi Hill. Which is one of the most crowded area in this city. Design has to follow UNESCO guideline both architectural and landscape. Existing trees to be properly preserved, at the same time, conform to the context of being an UNESCO World heritage site of Luang Prabang with the unique insight and history. Landscape role will promote simply elegant atmosphere for hotel naturally. Once hotel is launched it has to look like it belongs to the city and blends well with Laung Prabang context.

由於酒店規模有限，建築師將泳池和庭院佈置在了中心位置，周圍環繞佈置酒店客房，以創造出酒店內的主要開放空間。景觀所面臨的挑戰是如何管理開放空間，並將游泳池和擠滿遊客的公共交叉口連接起來，此外，該交叉口是遊客到al-to-monk（老撾語：Tak Bat）的主要通道，經常有僧侶在這裡舉行宗教活動，因此，景觀設計師最具挑戰性的任務就是如何在酒店有限的空間內，創造適當的隱私空間。

Due to the limited size of this hotel, architect arranges the pool and leafy court to be at the center and surrounded by all rooms in order to create main open space within the hotel. The challenge is how to manage the open space connected swimming pool and the corner of the public intersection which is the crowded area full of tourists. Moreover, this area is the main pathway for tourists to al to monks (in Laos: Tak Bat) which show the popular religion activity among tourists. Therefore, the most challenging task for landscape designer is to create the proper privacy between inside and outside of the hotel and between guest rooms and main hotel facilities within limitation space of hotel.

我們的景觀設計目標不是簡單的在視覺上進行分隔，而是要創造出舒適的景觀，讓遊客能在酒店的所有空間中享受徜徉的樂趣，感受到寬敞放鬆的氛圍，而不會產生空間分隔感，此外，景觀還應創造自然環境氛圍，而不是進行簡單的花園裝飾。我們的目標是保留現有的大部分樹木，如果要增加新的植被，它們必須與現有植被和整體環境協調，這樣從酒店外部看，其整體的外觀應該給人一種與城市世界遺產文化遺產相和諧的感覺，而不是一個獨立優秀的個體。

Instead of separation everything visually to create privacy, we aim to create pleasant landscape which visitors can experience the extensive and relaxing atmosphere and enjoy walking in all spaces of the hotel without the feeling of space separation. Moreover, landscape should provide the natural environment rather than decorated garden. Our goal to keep most of the existing trees and if new plantings are added in, they have to harmonize with existing plantings and the overall environment. Looking from the outside of the hotel, the overall look should give the feeling of nicely harmonious with the world heritage site context rather than an outstanding brand-new hotel.

因此，為了完善景觀設計理念，我們學習研究了瑯勃拉邦友好的城市氣氛，並從中受到啟發。在瑯勃拉邦，其大多數建築都是溫暖的中性色彩材料，比如木質材料、各種色調的棕色磚、白色的建築牆以及瑯勃拉邦式種植，所以我們在選擇種植類型時，也考慮了場地本身的建築材料，如尚帕卡木材(老撾語：Jumpee)、淺灰色的屋頂瓦片和乾淨的白色牆壁等。

Thus, to form Landscape design concept we studied and been inspired by the friendly atmosphere in Luang Prabang which most colour of the buildings are warm neutral colour materials such as wooden, the various tones of brown brick colour, the white from the building wall, and the local planting of Luang Prabang. And also architectural materials in site itself such as Champaca wood (Jumpee in Lao), light grey roof tiles and white clean wall are considered while we carefully choose type of plantings.

酒店的主要室外設施是新建的25米游泳池，保留了下來的樹幹直徑近2米、高20米的百年榕樹是該游泳區的主要景觀元素，其他遍布整個區域的現存樹木是淺色葉的果樹，如印度軟木(Millingtonia hortensis Lf)、龍眼(Dimocarpus Longan Lour.)、芒果、椰子樹和火焰浮力樹(Delonix regia)等。

The main outdoor facilities is a 25-meter swimming pool which is newly built and the existing 100 years Banyan trees which is almost 2-meter trunk diameter width and 20-meter tall are preserved s as the main landscape element in this swimming pool area. Other existing trees are fruit trees with light colour leaves that spread all over the area such as Indian Cork (Millingtonia hortensis Lf), Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), Mango, Coconut tree, and Flamebuoyant Tree.

基於上述原因，景觀設計師只選擇了一棵中等大小的淺色葉樹，使它與所有的現存樹木相融合，也與建築的色彩相呼應，在有限的空間內提升人們的舒適感。這裡增添的新植物是Wrightia arborea (Dennst.)，採用隨機種植是為了讓它們看起來更像是原本就生長在這裡的，像橙色茉莉(九里香)這樣的低矮灌木則用於分隔空間，並為每個房間創建隱私，另外，種植葡萄藤也是為了軟化種植箱壁。對於其他主要的設施區域，我們則使用了大草坪來創造通風空間，營造簡單優雅的氛圍。

Due to the above reason, landscape architect choose only one medium-sized tree with light-colour leaves which completments with all the existing trees, conform with the building colour and make people feel comfortable in this limited space. The new plant used is Wrightia arborea (Dennst.) Mabb and randomly planted to make them look like they were originally planted and grown here. Low shrubs like Orange Jasmine (Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack) is used to separate each space and create privacy for each room. Moreover, Lee Gkwan Yew Vine is planted to soften planter box wall. And for the other main facilities area, big lawn are used to create the airy simply elegant atmosphere.

在通往公共道路的連接空間，我們加入了瑯勃拉邦隨處可見的老撾國花-雞蛋花，以使其與瑯勃拉邦的環境相和諧，並配以中型灌木——細長的棕竹(Rhapis Humllis Bl)，以防止人們直接從外面看到泳池區，尤其是在alm舉行儀式，數百名僧侶走過酒店時，這樣酒店客人就可以放鬆的享受泳池時光，而不必擔心會受到當地日常文化活動的干擾。這里大片的輕香灌木-香潘丹則用來創造從內部區域到外部的更多隱私距離。

At the connecting space to the public road, Frangipani (Plumeria rubra L.), Laotian national flower can be found everywhere in Luang Prabang, is chosen to add in areas with no existing tree in order to make it harmonious with Luang Prabang context together with a mid-size shrub, Slender lady Palm (Rhapis Humllis Bl.), in order to prevent the outsider to see the swimming pool area. Especially while the alm giving ceremony with hundreds of monks walking by the hotel. So hotel guests can enjoy pool without concern to interfere the local cultural daily activities. The wide mass of light aroma shrubs, Fragrant Pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) is used to create more privacy distance from inside area from the outside.

在Chao Fa Ngum路邊的餐廳區域，我們營造了開放與封閉並存的節奏氛圍，為餐廳客人營造更加溫馨的感覺。通過植物種植避免外人只能看到泳池景觀，所以餐廳的客人仍能感受到與城市的聯繫，並在清新的景觀氛圍中享受和觀察老撾人的生活方式。

At the restaurant area beside Chao Fa Ngum road, the atmosphere is created to be open and close rhythm to create the more welcoming feeling for the restaurant guests. By using plants to prevent only the pool view from being seen by the outsider, so the restaurant guests can still feel connection to city and enjoy observing the Laotian lifestyle among landscape refreshment atmosphere.

酒店客房內有一個可愛的庭院，是供客人坐下來放鬆的私人戶外區域，這裡圍繞灌木種植的特色樹，營造出了一種舒適的休閒氛圍。

In guest rooms, there is a lovely courtyard to be a private outdoor area for guest to sit and relax which small Kankrao (Fragrea fragrans Robx.) trees is a feature tree surrounded lovely shrubs to create the comforting atmosphere.
