Onion：考艾Sala度假酒店毗邻泰国国家公园，其有趣之处不仅仅在于建筑本身，通往酒店的小路被野性柔和的紫色天竺草包围，引领客人向山上走去。越向上走，让人越想探索山顶上的事物。Sala酒店的外观看起来并不像度假胜地，它更像是矗立在狼尾草丛中间的亭子，每栋住处都隐藏在山体后方，还有一些房间的缺失，都在向人们强调酒店的设计概念——即作为“公共休息室的一种临时结构”。

Onion: Located next to the National Park of Thailand, what is interesting about Sala at Khao Yai is not exactly the building. The path towards Sala is surrounded by the mass of the purple Guinea Grass, a subtle plant that invites us to walk uphill. Each step makes us wonders what is there on the summit. In a strange way, Sala does not seem like a resort but a pavilion in the middle of the white Fountain Grass. The absence of rooms including villas sought to underline the concept of Sala as a ‘temporary structure of the public rest-house’. Every accommodation is hidden behind the peak.

山顶上除了一座亭子、一个露台和游泳池，其余都应予以留白，Onion的设计师深知这一点。项目的设计以山地景观为主导，如若这个度假胜地紧临大海，那么游泳池的表面延伸到海平线也就不足为奇了。在Sala酒店，泳池为客人带来一种新型美学体验，它将水与山体地平线连接起来，任由大家展开想象，想象自己在天空之境，朝着日落的方向游泳。

Onion architect knows that there should be nothing else on the mountaintop besides a pavilion, a connection of terraces, and a swimming pool. It allows the mountainous landscape to dominate its design. If this resort were next to the ocean, it would not be surprising if the surface of the swimming pool stretches out to the horizon of the sea.At Sala, the swimming pool offers its guests a new type of aesthetic experience. It links the water and the horizon of the mountain. We may imagine ourselves swimming amidst the sky towards the direction of the sunset.

当夜幕降临，用餐区被蜡烛吊灯照亮，昏暗的灯光总在夜里摇曳不定。但无论天色多暗，Sala依旧会为客人凝望远方地平线保留一份绵长的视野。但比起我们凝视远方，更让人能获得绝妙体验的是领悟到群山也在凝望我们，这就是为什么考艾Sala可以是特殊过夜之地的原因。

While the landscape is gradually hidden by darkness, the dining area is lit by the candle chandelier. Its dim light is always almost vanishing. However dark it may be, Sala continues to offer us a lingering gaze to the horizon. But this is not quite a reason for our sublime experience. The fantasy is rather that the mountainous horizon is still looking at us. And this is precisely why Sala at Khao Yai is a special place to spend a night.

酒店中央设有椭圆形游泳池，四周环绕大堂、餐厅和椭圆形步道网。住宿隐藏在山体斜坡之下，为了更加接近泳池度假屋，需要走到它的屋顶露台。屋顶上，可以看到室外的床、火塘和通往卧室的楼梯、私人游泳池及私人凉亭，豪华客房则位于大堂下方。所有的这些都面向东方，可以迎接日出。

Located next to the National Park of Thailand. The central object of Sala is the oval swimming pool. It is surrounded by the lobby, the restaurant and the network of oval walkways. Accommodations are hidden underneath the slanting ground. In order to approach the Pool Villa, we walk through to its roof terrace. On the roof, we see the outdoor bed, the fire place, and the stair that leads us down to the bedroom, the private swimming pool and the private pavilion. The Deluxe Rooms are below the lobby. They all face the East and welcome the sunrise.

Sala酒店的结构是钢筋混凝土，饰面材料选用了当地老木材以及混合了类似于场地红土的土粉色灰泥。用绳子固定绑扎的竹子铺设在屋顶露台，可以保护每栋小屋免受高温的影响。泳池旁的垫子选用了蓝绿色，以适应泳池与天空的颜色。

The structure of Sala is the reinforced concrete. Its finishing materials are wood especially old wood in the locality and cement plaster mixed with the colour earthy pink similar to the red soil of the site. Bamboos tied up with ropes are placed on top of the roof terrace in order to protect each villa from the heat. Cushions beside the swimming pool are bluish green, the same colour as the swimming pool together with the sky.
