Gaming
Ecologically sensitive masterplan
SKYH Proposal - Thailand is a year-round destination known nationally and internationally as a place to find an accessible retreat from day-to-day life "a place to embrace outdoor living". The 1000 acre land, envisions a thoughtful land-use approach in the integrated development of entertainment, casino resorts, hotels, residential, offices and public space.
The proposed master plan is organized along the activated main spine. The surrounding uses that are on the perimeter of the reservation are taken into account in planning the appropriate programming to enrich the community and amplify the momentum as a gaming resort destination.
The open space embraces the site with clusters of dense, lush green landscapes merged together with the water that branches throughout the site. Honouring the tribe's respect for the land, the majority of the existing trees are preserved and protected in place.
Water is a powerful linking element in the master plan. The organization of waterways is an integrated combination of lakes, retention ponds, controlled water and recreation pools, in an approach sensitive to Thailand's physio-graphic qualities.
