Quin Pavilion, a striking architectural marvel conceived by Idee Architects, has emerged as a serene retreat nestled within the lush greenery near Hanoi. Drawing inspiration from the ethereal beauty of clouds and rainwater pools, this pavilion offers campers an immersive experience amidst nature's bounty.

Embracing Nature's Beauty

By taking the layout of the building and setting it within a tunneled site between the majestic Ba Vi Mountain range and Quin Pavilion, you can see the consistency with the principles of integrating the constructed structures with the surrounding landscape. This is manifested in the timber spiral ramp that winds around the wooded area and the availability of outdoor showering and toilet facilities. Given this architecture, the main conceptual feature of the pavilion is the fabric roof, which is sustained by narrow columns to provide the guests with an opportunity to contemplate the beautiful nature of the surroundings while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of the place.

Innovative Construction Techniques

Ideally situated in a sparsely populated district with a relatively small budget, Idee Architects had to develop elaborate ways of illustrating Quin Pavilion. Pre-finished and low-weight bearing materials were integrated, and localization work included wood, stones, and bricks. These were made by skilled locals and put into this pavilion to give the real taste of these respective countries and demonstrate how skilled artisans were. This has led me to create this unique structure, which is constructed in harmony with the landscape surroundings and presents a peaceful retreat for individuals visiting the area.

A Testament to Architectural Ingenuity

Quin Pavilion is a crucial example of Idee Architects operating in the world of high-quality thinking and acting, aiming to create the best solutions while respecting the environment. Charming and educative, the use of materials from the surroundings and the inspiration from nature replicate the spirit of the project in the Jaguar (Canto) showroom. Walking through and enjoying the view of the wooden bridges, they reflect on how humans can try to reconcile themselves and nature.

A Retreat for the Soul

Whether you transfer to enjoy the last sunlight of the day before the much-awaited sun sets on the horizon, take a serene nature walk in the woods, or relax by the outdoor swimming pool, life at Quin Pavilion is a cycle of discovery for those who want to get away from the concrete jungle. Positioned as a sculpture, the pavilion is situated right above the Vietnamese forest to remind people travelling orient them and give them time to stop and remember what life is all about to them.

In conclusion, Quin Pavilion can be seen as one of the most inspiring examples of creating magnificent architectural buildings that provide people with functional solutions and concisely complement the natural masterpiece. It also functions primarily as an architectural structure and an icon of art appreciation and worship of beauty and nature, which are significant values people should preserve.
