“Riva Vista Riverfront Resort” is a 61-key hotel situated next to Kok River in the heart of Chiang Rai province. Known for its distinctive ancient traditions, Chiang Rai is experiencing rapid growth in recent years and has become one of Thailand’s famous destinations. The brief requires a design of a medium-size hotel on a site that is adjacent to a river in the heart of a city. It has to answer to the lifestyle of city dwellers, who are the main target users of the project. The architect’s intention is, therefore, to capture the essence of modernity with a vernacular Northern Thai character and deconstruct both aspects into one seemingly peculiar “dish” that uses vernacular ingredients but is prepared in modern techniques - a mixture of both old and new.
