Guests in Vietnam that will be staying at this mineral resort near Nha Trang can find some relief from the heat thanks to A21Studio. Instead of having the pool out in direct sunlight all day, the team built a shaded tent-like structure that hangs down over the water.
Temperatures in Vietnam can get almost unbearable at times, so having something that allows tourists to beat the heat is definitely desirable. Although the pool is nearby, shade is at times the most necessary way to cool down. Local materials were also used to build the roof, ensuring that almost all of it was organically put together, with little harm done to the environment or surrounding area.
