Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, a luxury resort property located in Krabi, the landscape design for Phulay Bay included expansion phase, enhancements and renovations to the existing accommodations. Completed in 2009 the renovation includes 45 villa keys, a reception and business centre, dining facilities and a spa.
The architecture and landscape carefully integrates the existing environment with a contemporary interpretation of Asian cultural heritage such as Chinese moon gates, Indian motifs in walls, Japanese rock gardens and Lanna-styled roofs, reflecting mythology, art and craftsmanship. The resulting design encourages guests and staff alike to interact with and shape the landscape through raking of sand or lighting candles in the ceremonial spaces. The resulting design thoughtfully shapes the user’s experience and emotion through use of dramatic scales and ceremonial spaces.
The arrival and reception area consists of a series of courts, focusing attention inwards. Tall aubergine walls surrounded by sugar palms create an immediate contrast to the outside environment and inspiring a sense of magnificence and luxury. The next courtyard holds the reception pavilion surrounded by 6 metre candle walls mirrored by a reflection pool. High walls protect the observer both visually and physically, creating a private sanctuary. After reception, guests are greeted by the lily pond, a softening and tranquil natural feature before reaching the buggy pick-up area for guests to access their villas.
The location, height and orientation of each villa was carefully aligned to capture majestic views of the ever changing sky and the dramatic limestone-karst islands, while at the same time ensuring complete privacy and seclusion. Not a single villa pool holds the same design, each customised to accommodate its unique surroundings, sights and space.
In addition to aesthetic value, great care was placed on the existing natural systems such as mountain streams and existing trees. Working with hydro engineers, landscaped retention ponds, swales and water features were created to capture, cleanse and celebrate water. These natural water bodies therefore became both functional and visual utilities.
Significant effort was put into conserving the abundant existing trees, to the point where construction of a villa was cancelled to preserve a large cashew tree. The private gardens and public areas were crafted to take advantage of the mature trees, helping to frame views and providing a verdant visual backdrop.
