4* Hotel (Green architecture – 92 Keys) to propose a new “product” to the International tourists visiting Myanmar and especially the historical city of Bagan. Hotel design following the Bio-climatic Principles => large overhangs, sun-protection, natural ventilation, double ventilated roof, …, use of local material (concrete for structure + bricks + local wood for deck, doors and windows), for a very reasonable construction cost. T3 team made the choice to conserve all existing trees to keep as much as possible the Identity of the Site, to make shadow on the building and to give a green atmosphere for the Hotel customers. All rooms are facing the Patio and swimming pool to recreate a sort of “fresh Oasis” : a major issue regarding the very hot climate in Bagan. Interior Design has been designed by T3 but finally the Client didn’t follow T3 concept which was a mix between contemporary and historical elements, between tradition and modernity. All furniture and decorative lighting had been design by T3 team (but not respected by the Client), as well as the original landscape design (but finally the Pool has disappeared and has been replaced by a very “poor” landscape). One ore “tragic” story of a nice sustainable Architectural project damaged by the Client….
BIOCLIMATIC SECTION of BAGAN HOTEL
T3 designed all the Hotel building following bioclimatic principles: double ventilated roof, large overhangs, balcony use as sun protection, sun shade tailor made according to the sun orientation.
