vietnamese practice MIA design studio has created an oasis of tropical tranquility within the naman retreat in da nang, vietnam. internally and externally, the pure spa has been immersed in draping plants, hanging gardens and green walls. meanwhile, the five star facility features fifteen individual treatment rooms that merge with the open-air gardens- evoking a serene and calm atmosphere. each space has been arranged to flow seamlessly into each other and alongside the spa, there is a health club offering meditation and yoga classes which can be held at the outdoor, lounge garden. a vertical, lattice wall has been used on the exterior and for spatial partitioning and combined with the lush foliage, it creates an interesting play of light and shadow.
