Concept hotel resort in the National Park of Phu Quoc island, Vietnam.
The project will be built by Quatre Thinking Process in 2013/2014 to fit the purposes of the company: courses in change management.
The project consist of a 2-storey main building, a 2-storey course building and 24 bungalows with a total
footprint of appr. 1200 m2 . The buildings will be build as self-sufficient, off-grid units, that use the haracteristics of their surroundings (sun, rain water, etc.) to produce their own energy, collect and use rainwater and dispose of waste water without connection to a main grid, water supply source or sewerage.

Area plan and section
With a focus on sustainability my personal involvement included (but not limited to):
• plans for development of a rainwater collection system, to be used as a primary water supply source for the resort;
• plans for development of on-site sanitation system for waste water treatment; - research and analysis of possible renewable energy sources, estimations and calculations regarding energy consumption;
• development of an environmental report for the whole project, reflecting on the sustainable ideas and solutions included in the design and construction, suggestions for how to limit the environmental impact of the project to its surroundings, preserve the ecological balance in the area, and involve the guests and the local community in thinking and acting sustainable.
