Nan Shan Tea Resort
New development often suggests the introduction of commercialization and the diminishing of local culture and tradition.
Eco resorts have been on the rise, annihilating the old for future developments instead of celebrating the existing through improvements. VST’s proposal for a declining tea plantation in Nan Shan Village utilises its local specialities, skills and site’s location to create a unique tea resort for different visitors throughout the year.
The proposal adopts a progressive and flexible architecture approach to adapt and grow to cater for different hotel programs that serve not only tourists but also shared with the local village.
Acknowledging both present and unknown future needs and challenges, flexibility becomes sustainability.
