始建于1948年的龍柏酒店是馬來西亞檳城巴都丁宜歷史最悠久的酒店之一，它坐落在遠(yuǎn)離市中心喧囂的一片美麗的海灘之中。

為了成為海岸線上唯一的精品酒店，該酒店尋求通過設(shè)計(jì)使得空間成為人類與自然相互溝通的橋梁。因此，時(shí)刻留意人工環(huán)境與自然環(huán)境間的平衡也成為了場(chǎng)地設(shè)計(jì)的重要原則。精致的建筑形體將人工環(huán)境的影響降至最低的同時(shí)，又與自然之間產(chǎn)生了最大化的互動(dòng)。

1998年，酒店的首次翻修很大程度保留了其殖民風(fēng)格帶來的魅力。而此次翻修的挑戰(zhàn)來自于如何在保留這種魅力與價(jià)值的同時(shí)將其融入新的空間意象與感受之中。我們選擇了非常中性的建筑語匯來設(shè)計(jì)酒店新樓。相反，現(xiàn)存建筑的翻修則強(qiáng)化了酒店原有的時(shí)代與建筑特征。通過這次翻修與擴(kuò)建，它擁有了作為一座現(xiàn)代酒店所必需的全部條件的同時(shí)，仍舊不斷喚起人們對(duì)于檳城島黃金時(shí)代的記憶。

游泳池、SPA、酒吧和餐廳等空間與設(shè)施的配置完善了整體上的景觀，同時(shí)避免對(duì)于自然美景構(gòu)成任何形式的干擾?！酰ɡ瞽[ 譯）

1 外景/Exterior view

Being amongst one of the first hotels in Batu Feringhi, Penang, the original Lone Pine Hotel was established in 1948. It is located on a beautiful patch of beach－away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The idea of being the only boutique hotel along the island's coastline led to 'spaces' being explored rather unconventionally. These spaces were designed not just as physical envelopes, but rather emotional connectors between man and nature. With this in mind, it was important to approach the site planning with a high degree of sensitivity and finesse. To achieve this, it was crucial to always observe a balance of built form versus Mother Nature. This balance was largely achieved by the conscious attempt to maximize engagement with nature whilst keeping the building footprints delicate to minimize their physical impact. A high surface to floor ratio and a linear plan were the answer to these sacrosanct criteria.

The first refurbishment in 1998 retained much of the original 'colonial charm'. With the advent of this second refurbishment, the challenge was to somehow retain the spirit and values of the original whilst injecting the place with a new lease of life and to imbue it with a contemporary yet exclusive feel and image. A highly neutral architectural expression was chosen for the new wings housing the additional guestrooms. Conversely, the existing buildings were refurbished to enhance their original character and architectural language of a bygone period. All at once, this enabled the hotel to be portrayed as a modern retreat with all the expected creature comforts of a contemporary resort, whilst still managing to evoke the nostalgia of Penang island's golden era.

The design embraces its natural setting with sumptuous lobbies and open terraces.Openness and intimacy are suffused to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Guestrooms are orientated to exploit the panoramic sea views. Designed to open out to a balcony or private courtyard, the guestrooms breathe in the refreshing sea breeze. The partnership between beach, ocean and Casuarinas comes to the fore with the architecture acting only as a backdrop.Latching onto the idea of architecture as a stage for mother nature, the architectural components were chosen from a palette of basic, natural and familiar materials－the likes of concrete blocks, clay bricks, glass and metal. These materials were then assembled in a curious and somewhat unpredictable manner－with the aim of providing varying degrees of perforations reacting to needs of view, ventilation and privacy.These assemblies also resulted, inadvertently,in an array of textures ranging from the prickly clay brick piers to the porous concrete block walls to the slick glass and metal screens. This combination of enclosure and openness together with the multiplicity of textures indirectly gave the building its own, organic-like skin.

Rooms were designed to suit families, couples as well as solitary guests. Luxurious spaces are filled with modern furniture and fittings set against the most basic of finishes in subtle earthy tones.Combined with exclusively designed soft furnishings,this creates a unique atmosphere and perfect balance between luxury and homely familiarity. In a similar vein to the architecture of the buildings,the interiors were also intended to provide varying degrees of flexibility in the way the users could engage the spaces. Each guest room could almost be customized according to the individual guest's preference. Partitions between sleep and bath areas were designed to allow a multitude of variations from completely open-plan spaces to highly enclosed and defined zones. The base idea of space as 'emotional connector' is thus carried through consistently throughout the entire innards of the hotel.

Facilities and amenities such as the swimming pools, spa, bars and restaurants are arranged to complement and frame the vista, being careful always to avoid hampering or distracting in any way the natural beauty of the place.□
