The hotel is a luxurious resort located on Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island. The design concept revolves around the idea of “Lamarck University”, a fictional academy inspired by the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. The resort is designed to evoke the experience of attending a university, with different areas themed around various academic departments.
The architecture blends traditional French colonial elements with modern design, creating a unique and whimsical atmosphere. The use of vibrant colors, such as bright yellows, greens, blues, and reds, adds a playful touch to the guest rooms and common areas. Local materials, including stone and wood, are used to enhance the cultural richness of the space.
