PRY1 is located in Prachinburi, at a foothill of Khao Yai National Park known for its rich natural resources. Overlooking the mountains that are parts of Khao Yai National Park, the location of PRY1 is ideal for its purpose as a retreat hotel. Meaning “jungle,” the name PRY1 suggests its relationship with both its immediate manmade landscape and the natural surroundings beyond its vicinity. Appearing in its simplest geometrical form and architectural language, the hotel is designed to be a tacit background for both the activities of its guests and the ever-transforming natural environment around it. 

Organized into three levels, the guests are welcomed into the most public spaces on the ground floor. Reception and lobby acts not only as a point of entry but also becomes a welcoming living spaces for everyone. Living and dining spaces are also interconnected, enveloping the outdoor swimming pool and act as its background. Activities are not bounded within the perimeter of their designated spaces, but flow from one place onto the next without interruption. Towards another end located a quiet library where guests can retreat into both the books in hand and the view of the mountains before them.
