This project, as part of a resort's outdoor space remodeling, has transformed the existing outdoor swimming pool into a resting area that reflects the local culture. The aim was to provide visitors, who have finished their travels and returned to their accommodation to relieve their fatigue. This was achieved by offering the experience of leisurely strolling through an outdoor garden without a specific destination. In terms of form, it was inspired by the design elements of Gyeongju's Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond. The juxtaposition of a linear, architectural pavilion and a curved, island-shaped planting area creates a striking contrast. The curves of the island on the pond subtly overlap, so that the entire view cannot be seen from a single point. In addition, the grouping of crape myrtle trees with their winding branches and the dense evergreen shrubs make the space appear abundant. This newly reinterprets the traditional Korean landscape.

정처 없이 한가롭게 거니는 소요의 정원으로 한국의 전통정원들이 지닌 직선과 곡선의 묘를 꾀하였다. 중앙의 수반과 그를 둘러싼 마운딩, 그리고 배롱나무 군식은 안압지 등에서 읽어낼 수 있는 경주 고유의 전통적 경관을 재해석 하였다. 수반에 맞닿은 파빌리온 역시 한국의 창살에서 단서를 가져왔으며 기존 소나무를 존치하되 산책로를 내어 소요의 경험을 연장하였다. 레스토랑 전면도 재구성하여 반듯한 야외 테라스를 두었다. Photographer: 김종오
