Moksh酒店為休息和健康生活而建，提倡嵌入自然的生活。它有著星級酒店的舒適性，外部結構和氛圍與它所處的自然景觀完美融合。

Text description provided by the architects. Moksha is a hotel built for repose and healthful living, of life embedded in nature. While it offers all the creature comforts the likes of a star hotel in its interior, Moksha's exterior structure, and ambiance blend seamlessly into the natural landscape into which it is built.



酒店與它所處的氛圍相吻合。建筑師采用了可持續的設計策略，在整個實施階段都考慮了該地的自然環境。在施工期間，現有元素都得以重新利用，這使得建筑從環境中獲得的附加值很高。例如從本地采購的天然木材和磚塊以及當地的手工藝都得到了利用，節省了時間和額外的開支。由于場地上自然水路和林地附近有很多巨石，所以施工準備用了將近一年的時間。同時，場地有大量的天然巨石和斜坡，當地的工匠們參與并克服了這些問題。

The hotel’s architecture, too, is in congruence with the ambiance its name confirms. The architect has embraced self-sustaining design strategies that enhance the natural setting of the location throughout the implementation phase. Each and every existing element has been re-utilized across the entire construction period. The value added from the context is high; natural timber and bricks sourced from the area and local craftsmanship utilized from the inception to the operation, saving time and extra expenditure. It has taken nearly a year to prepare the land for construction, as it has been full of boulders that one always meets in the proximity of natural waterways and woodlands. Local craftsmanship was especially involved in overcoming this challenge as the topography was abundant with natural boulders and heavy slopes.













外墻和大部分家具都是木制的，這些木頭來自場地內被砍伐的樹木。設計師將可持續的設計策略付諸實踐，利用這些木頭來制作外墻和家具，沒有對周圍的雨林造成任何損害，這種選擇是可持續的。大廳中突出的棕色自然色調將建筑與它所處的環境進一步融合。自然材料有助于讓建筑始終保持舒適的氣氛。建筑師為外部家具選擇了大地色系，其中的深棕色、磚紅色和焦黃色呼應了林地。

The facade is wooden, and so is the majority of furniture in the lobby. The wood is repurposed from the limited number of trees that were essential to be removed to make space for the construction. Putting the sustainable design strategies into practice, the architect has utilized these wooden planks in producing the facade and furniture, and the balance requirement has been sourced from the locale without any damage to the surrounding rainforest. The choice is sustainable as it is soothing. The familiar, brown hues of nature prominent in the lobby merge the building further with the context it is borne out of. Natural materials help always keep the atmosphere comfortable. The colors help. Earthy tones that the architect has chosen for the exterior and the semi-external furniture embody the woodland with their deep browns, brick reds, and burnt yellows.





從一開始，建筑師就尋求與當地手工藝人和建筑商的合作。雖然精心設計每個細節是一個挑戰，但與當地的專業人員合作讓建筑擁有豐富的當地特色。采用可持續性策略并適應環境，使整個酒店與自然保持最和諧的狀態。

From the onset, the architect sought the support of local craftspeople and builders. Though it has been challenging to elaborate the architectural nuances of every detail, working with local expertise has helped bring a rich local flavor to the concept, adopting sustainability and adapting to the context, keeping nature’s presence always at its most vibrant across the entire hotel. 







客房、餐廳和酒吧都設在三層樓的建筑里。這座長方形的酒店與旁邊的自然溪流Liyan Oya和深林邊緣和諧共生。奇妙的是，建筑的棱角并沒有在景觀中顯得突兀。與樹林和溪流平行的位置讓酒店融入景觀，仿佛這個人造的結構是也是叢林的一部分。

The guestrooms, the restaurant, and the bar are all housed in a single three-storied building. The rectangular edifice is placed parallel to the natural stream, Liyan Oya, that flows right next to the property and the edge of the deep woods on the other side. Surprisingly, or perhaps wondrously, the structure's angularity does not jut out as an anomaly in the landscape. The parallel placement allows the boutique hotel to blend into the landscape as if it were the most natural phenomenon to have a man-made structure within the jungle.
