X2 Kui Buri was the brain-child collaboration of the owner, Anthony and Kaewjai McDonald and DBALP Duangrit Bunnag Architect Limited. The resort is designed and built with a primary goal that they must “satisfy the spirit”. This is partly achieved via architectural design, but more importantly through natural beauty of the location and the meshing of the structures with the canvas provided by nature. The idea for the use of stones comes from the seasonal appearance of sea pebbles that are found scattered along the beach during winter months. The “Mountain Rock” used throughout the resort are all from local quarries. The external stone walls of the villas appear as wall and not as a building, creating an invisibility of design. What is a structural wall for one villa appears as a fence wall to other villa. By using this invisible wall design and clever landscaping; villas are private without the need to be encased in four high fences. This reduces construction costs and importantly allows cool sea breezes to pass through the villa area with minimal disruption. It provides privacy without isolation.
A design resort of more than just beauty and high quality architecture…it is also about its integration with quality of service…..but of an untraditional nature. Experience it yourself today. For more information and latest promotion, visit www.X2LOBBY.com.
