在过去的几个世纪里，坎坎纳布里省在泰缅冲突中扮演了许多重要的角色。这是一个居住在茂密丛林中的几个民族部落的地方，也是采矿活动的场所。该镇在第二次世界大战后得到了广泛的承认，当时日本士兵利用该镇作为战俘的大本营，修建声名狼藉的泰缅铁路和桂河上著名的桥梁。这部回忆录后来出现在1957年好莱坞电影“桂河大桥”中，获得7个奥斯卡奖。因此，2014年放映的“铁道人”是为了背诵这一历史事件而制作的。

The province of Kanchanaburi played many important roles in the past centuries during the Thai-Burmese conflict. It was a place full of several ethnic tribes living in thick jungles and also a spot for mining activities. The town became widely recognized after the Second World War, when the Japanese soldiers used it as a base camp for the prisoners of war to construct the notorious Thai-Burma Railway and the well-known bridge over the River Kwai. This memoir was later featured in the 1957 Hollywood film, “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” winning 7 academy awards. Consequently, “The Railway Man,” screened in 2014, was produced to recite the historical event.

度假村是它的所有者和建筑师之间的创意合作。这一设计主题从坎坎纳布里独特的历史中汲取灵感，并结合其靠近历史悠久的铁路、桥梁和河流的本质。其结果是一个前卫设计的度假村，它包含了当地的特色。在营造场所感方面，葵溪X2河的建筑采用了“轻结构”的理念来建造。轻结构通常出现在当地的周边环境中，如房屋、木筏和桥梁上，这些建筑主要是用木材和竹子建造的。

The resort is the brainchild collaboration between its owner and the architect. The design theme took inspiration from Kanchanaburi’s unique history combined with the essence of its location near the historic railway, bridge, and river. The result is an avant-garde designed resort that embraces the local character. In creating the sense of place, the architecture of X2 River Kwai adopted the “light structure” concept to construct the project. Light structure is commonly seen throughout the local neighborhood setting such as on houses, rafts, and bridges, which are mainly built with wood and bamboo.

工厂的钢桁架、采矿设备和独特的纪念碑-桂河大桥-也可以被认为是轻巧的结构，它包含了“苗条但坚固”的理念。有了三角形的成员，这种结构体系给了我们建造几乎“在空中飞翔”的东西的自由。这种飞行或漂浮的品质被用来创造这个地方，并给X2河葵一个特殊的体验。豪华小屋的客人可以从伸展到广阔自然的“飞行”甲板上欣赏葵河的全景，而西德湖的客人则可以在私人的“木筏”露台上休息，并在无限的水池中浸泡他们的脚。

Steel trusses of factories, mining equipment, and the distinct monument, The Bridge over River Kwai, can also be considered as light structures, which encompass the “slim but strong” philosophy. With the triangulated members, this kind of structural system gives us freedom to build things that almost “fly in the air”. This quality of flying or floating is used to create the place and to give X2 River Kwai a special experience. LuXe Cabin guests can enjoy the panoramic view of the River Kwai from their “flying” decks that stretch into the vast nature while Pool Xide Cabin guests can rest on private “raft” terraces and soak their feet in the infinity pools.

该度假村是以可持续和生态友好的态度设计的。

The resort is designed with a sustainable and eco-friendly attitude.

减少：使用基本材料，如混凝土，OSB板，天然山石和钢铁，所有的供应都可以在当地采购。我们认为，这种方法是一种创造性的方法，可以创造一种“朴素的奢华”的感觉。OSB和橡胶接合木板是专门为商业用途而种植的材料，被广泛应用于本项目。其他可持续材料包括彩色粘合瓦楞纸钢和木纤维水泥板，用于户外甲板。

Reduce: Employing basic materials such as concrete, OSB board, natural mountain stone, and steel, all supplies can be sourced locally. This approach, we believe, is an inventive way to create a sense of “unpretentious luxury”. The OSB and joint rubber wooden boards, materials that are planted particularly for commercial usage, are selected to be used extensively in this project. Other sustainable materials include color-bonded corrugated steel and wood fiber cement boards for outdoor decks.

由于沿墙壁、屋顶和保温管道广泛安装高效绝缘材料，能源消耗也大大减少。所有房间都配有电钥匙标签，客人离开房间时可以切断电源。另一个独特的特点是自动空调切断系统，这是触发时，玻璃门停留超过5分钟。LED灯在整个项目中广泛安装，以减少电力消耗。

Energy usage is also greatly reduced by the extensive installation of high efficiency insulation materials along the walls, roofs and thermal-insulated pipes. All rooms are equipped with electrical key tag to cut off the electricity when the guest leaves the room. Another unique feature is the automatic air conditioner cut-off system, which is triggered when the glass door stays opened for more than 5 minutes. LED lights are installed extensively throughout the entire project to reduce electricity consumption.

此外，在整个施工过程中，为了美化环境和节约能源，对大雨树进行了刻意的保护。树木是吸收二氧化碳和自然空调系统必不可少的一部分，它们极大地帮助了周围空气温度的降温。酒店客人躺在树荫下，可以舒舒服服地放松，终日享受清风。

In addition, throughout the construction process, the big rain trees have been deliberately conserved for both landscaping and energy-saving purposes. The trees are an essential part in absorbing Co2 and natural air-conditioning system, and they greatly aid in the cool down of the surrounding air temperature. Lying in the tree shades, hotel guests can comfortably relax and enjoy the river breeze all day long.

再利用：人们还可以发现，度假村重复使用了许多废弃的工业材料，并将它们转化为别致的工业装饰。我们的一些创造性发明的例子包括：废弃的钢管变成室外灯饰和室内布架，未使用的机器和旧电动机被转换成桌子和工业雕塑，废弃的铝带被改造成墙面。

Reuse: One can also spot that the resort reuses many of the abandoned industrial materials and turns them into chic industrial decorative. Some examples of our creative inventions include: abandoned steel pipes transformed into outdoor light fittings and indoor cloth racks, unused machinery and old electric motors converted into tables and industrial sculptures, and abandoned aluminum strips altered into wall cladding.

循环利用：酒店的河畔位置使度假村能够利用河水进行景观灌溉。该度假村还采取废物管理，将垃圾分类为不同的回收类别。

Recycle: The riverside location of the property enables the resort to use river water for landscape irrigation. The resort also adopts waste management, sorting rubbish into different recycle categories.
