English description provided by the architects.
In the context of Vinh urban area undergoing strong transformation, Guột Garden Club House is not merely a functional building but an architectural statement regarding the harmony between humanity and nature.
It is a sculptural masterpiece rising from the landscape, serving as a symphony of materials and forms, where emotion and function are woven into every curve.
FORM FLOW: FROM THE MOUNTAIN TO THE DOME
Inspired by the majestic contours of nature and the regional culture of Lam River, the architects created a non-linear architectural mass, challenging the angularity of the urban environment.
This 8m high structure is not a standard clubhouse, but a giant seashell or an architectural flow coiling around the swimming pool.
The roof structure is an iconic highlight, shaped by a system of gracefully curved, white-painted steel trusses.
Each fold of the roof is not only a load-bearing element but also an opening for natural light and ventilation, simulating the temporal creases on the mountain, creating a soft visual transition between the sky and the ground.
With a total site area of 5,380 m² but a construction density of only 9.8%, the Clubhouse is a lesson in proportional modesty and absolute prioritization of the landscape.
Sensory Quality And Experience: The Dialogue Of Materials – The distinctive feature of the design philosophy lies in the contrast of materials.
-1 GUỘT ROOF – THE ORGANIC SKIN
Instead Of Industrial Materials, The Roof Is Covered With Gleicheniaceae (Guột), A Handcrafted, Natural Material.
This Natural Skin Not Only Provides Covering But Also Acts As A Microclimate Filter, Keeping The Space Below Cool And Offering A Unique Tactile Quality. Over Time, The Guột Roof Will Change Its Hue, Further Blending Into The Layer Of Lush Green Vegetation Clinging To It.
-2 INTERIOR
The Authenticity of Surfaces: Stepping inside, one encounters the authenticity of the materials
- Raw concrete ceilings and board-formed concrete walls, delivering a robust, primal feel.
- Polished concrete floors reflect natural light from the large glass partitions, enhancing the depth and openness of the space.
- In the Gym + Yoga Area, wood material is celebrated with reddish-brown oak wood flooring, creating a warm feeling that perfectly contrasts with the lush green scenery outside
Space And Functionality: Community Building – Guột Garden House is an "all-in-one" amenity complex model designed to serve the residents' resort lifestyle. With a total gross floor area of 530 m², this facility includes the core functions:
-Reception Lobby serves as an intimate connection point.
-Swimming Pool/Sports Area: The relaxation experience is maximized in the large swimming pool area, adjacent to the spacious Changing Room area.
-Multi-functional Block: This space is kept in its original state, not converted into other commercial functions, emphasizing the goal of serving the community.
Guột Garden House is where residents find balance: the absolute relaxation of natural materials, the freshness of open space, and the necessary tranquility to regenerate energy after a working day. It is the new symbol of the elite lifestyle in Vinh.
