Vision<br />
EKAR Architects designed a 60-room hotel in the old city of U Thong<br />
to revitalize the narratives and recollections of the past, employing<br />
architectural design language to communicate a vanishing history<br />
by using orange bricks to form a composition of rectangular window<br />
frames based on the characteristics of pagoda bases in the area.<br />
