Z9 Resort was Designed to Treat The Water before Draining into The Lake

Z9 Resort is a floating resort perched on Srinakarin Dam, Kanchanaburi. The resort utilises  natural ventilation, with the shapes and color of the buildings intimately blended in with the attractiveness of mountain and lake view. Sustainable design approaches were employed,nbased upon the “3R” concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Old wood was reused as part of the resort decorations. A reduction of materials used was achieved by the design, which required very-few site contour adjustments. A light-weight steel structure was also used. For recycling, some of the existing wood was quite large, hence they are repurposed and used for building indoor furniture. A closed-circuit water treatment was also designed to treat the water before draining into the lake.
