Welcome to. . . The Library,
Chaweng Beach - Koh Samui
The Library Project is a new conceptual resort located in the heart
of Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui. The project was originated by Kasemtham Sornsong,
a land owner, to develop an inherited piece of land to be more efficient
as well as preserve existing nature as much as possible.
With his passionate in hospitality industry, proven by a success of
his first Spa, Four Seasons Tropical Spa, together with his strong intention
to start up his own resort to fulfil his dream. Consequently, after the
Spa has reached to a stable stage, he teamed up with his consultants establishing
the project.
The piece of land is approx. 4 Rai or 6,400 square metres with 50-metre
beachfront area. Apart from an idea to preserve existing nature on the site,
the project was inspired by the basic way of life and our belief that 'the
real happiness is not complicated at all'.
At every beach destination, you may notice that number of tourists/travelers
lie down on the beach, sun-bathing, reading their books or you will see
pocket books in their beach bags or on the mattresses. That behavior is
so simple, easy-going and giving a feeling of free and relaxation. These
activities are our inspiration and become our ideal concept to build a smart-relaxing
place where guests can indulge in a very unique atmosphere to actualize
their holiday experience. And that's how The Library; came into our mind.
'An Exotic Smart Concept'
is a conclusion of our project design. Semi-minimalist architecture is our
solution as it provides a very simple architecture and interior which has
a balance with surrounding nature. To complement with architecture style,
a smart interactive between staff and guests is added up to ensure that
the right combination of both facilities and staff will create a perfect
blend of the project.
As for atmosphere within the Project, we set a tone of feeling to be
a cool smart-relaxing place with attractive appearance and interesting theme.
Green from grass in our garden decorated with art pieces and sculptures
will be key element for our landscape. White theme of the building by the
beach, a vivid red swimming pool overlooking to the sea and grey tone of
the Restaurant - these are visualized overview concept of the Project.
Highlight of the project is 'The Library Building' located by the beach
named itself after the project's title. The White building with high huge
ceiling equipped with glass window pane all around will enrich purity, serenity
and peace.
The Library Building consists of three box-style units
adjoining together where the middle box is an open-air serving as a mini-cafe.
The other two boxes are the huge library for not only books but also other
entertainment media such as music CD, movie DVD.
In addition, there will be a small corner for internet access with broadband
connection. Guests will enjoy sipping a cup of coffee, writing e-mail, listening
to music with sea views.
Accommodation
Our concept is to divide space equally between outdoor and indoor in both
horizontal and vertical way. This idea was stemmed from simple concept that
when holiday, people prefer to spend more time out in the open rather than
staying in an air-conditioned box. Consequently, each building unit will
be built in a box style by emphasizing in increasing efficiency of space
utilization vertically and horizontally. We provide more outdoor and open-air
space in order to meet guests 'preference.
There are only 26 units of
accommodation within 4 Rais of land consisting of 13 Studio type and 13
Suites. Total area of each unit is 68.50 sq.m for Studio and 76.50 sq.m
for Suite. Every room has a chance to get close to nature of tropical garden
and glimpse of sea views
The Suite Type (76.50 sq.m.)
has been assigned on the ground floor to enhance tropical feel and touch.
There is one master bedroom of 25 q.m., an open-air living area of 20 sq.m.
equipped with wooden shutter to allow sea breeze and wind to freely blow
into this area. A personal computer set with broadband connection is provided
on a writing table in living area. Whist a bathroom area is approximately
19 sq.m. featured a Jacuzzi , rain shower and dressing area. In front of
each Suite, outdoor mattresses are set aside serving as sun loungers for
guests to enjoy sun-bathing and reading during the day.
The Studio Type (68.50 sq.m.)
is situated on the upper floor of each accommodation unit. Total area
is divided into three area i.e. master bedroom with living corner, 15 sq.m.

works in our interior design aimed to enhance the ambience pleasure. We
believe that young couples or honeymooners will feel relax and cozy with
