Entry Description

Inspired by the aerodynamic swing of the golf club, the sleek, curvilinear form of Dusit Thani Laguna, formerly Laguna National Golf and Country Club, soars over a six-storey hotel and three-storey redesigned clubhouse. The two are surrounded by clusters of villas and share a glazed facade that not only envelops them but becomes their body.

From afar, both long and short elevations of the structure take on a life of their own, subsuming the ostensibly contradictory functions of the club and hotel into a dominant and exciting sculptural form, complementing the landscape of the golf course.
