架构师提供的文本描述。作为一个陌生人，不合适或被疏远，是当一个人离开家时的一种心理状态。它既不是一个熟悉的地方，也不是一个人们习惯的日常生活环境。尤其是在一个充满复杂性的城市，不同的民族，不同的文化，甚至建筑，这可能会让我们产生这种感觉。

Text description provided by the architects. Being a stranger, out of place or being alienated, is a state of mind when one is away from home. It is neither a familiar place nor an everyday life environment that one is used to. Especially, in a city full of complexity; different nationalities, cultures, or even architecture, that might cause us that feeling.

 Floor Plan

光明曼谷位于一个复杂的多样性和项目矛盾的地区，距离天空列车200米，离艺术博物馆和购物中心有一个街区，周围环绕着商店、回收站和街头摊贩。由VaSLab建筑公司设计，莱特曼谷试图阐明建筑空间，与吸引路人的能力共存，但又远离外部混乱，以温暖和舒适再次包围他们。拥有79个房间的L型酒店由游泳池、水疗中心、健身中心、蒸汽房、餐厅组成。

LIT Bangkok is located in such a complex area of diversities and program contradictions, with 200 meters away from sky-train, a block away from art museum and shopping centers, the site is surrounded by shop houses, back-packer hotels, and also street vendors. Designed by VaSLab Architecture, LIT Bangkok seeks to articulate architectural space that coexists with the ability to attract passersby but yet seclude itself away from its outer chaos as to enclose them again with warmth and comfort. The L-shape of 79-room hotel consists of swimming pool, spa, fitness, steam room, restaurant & bar, and function room, altogether with the two-layer of green space, created to attract passersby. The ground level access leads to the hotel’s reception with the inner view of sunken court, visually connected by full height glass lobby. The court is enclosed by a fitness room, a steam, and a spa that sits below the elevated swimming pool. While the front green steps take the users up to the plaza level hosted by the outdoor dining space then fluctuates into the indoor restaurant via a sculptural bridge.

这些内向的空间与外界的视线受限，灵感来源于新娘面纱的比喻，即“独立的外表”。这个立面就像第3-7层住宿楼层的屏风，可以让人们更多地专注于酒店的内部景观；绿色广场、沉陷的庭院、游泳池、外墙照明等等，而不是把注意力集中在老商店的四周。该外观的图案设计是由一系列平行四边形铝复合模块，激光切割，以创造4种不同的空洞大小的变化。整体外观组成代表动态折叠面具与图案穿刺，提供了不同数量的光和不同程度的视线外-进和内-外。

The creation of these introverted spaces with a restricted sight to outside surroundings is inspired by the metaphor of a bride veil, “a detached façade”. This façade acts like a screen for the accommodation floors level 3 – 7, as to create the ability to concentrate more on the hotel’s inner sceneries; green plaza, sunken court, swimming pool, façade lighting, etc., than focusing on the surrounded areas of old shop houses. The façade’s pattern design is made of a series of parallelogram aluminum composite module, laser-cut to create the variations of 4 different void sizes. The overall façade composition represents the dynamic folding mask with patterned punctures that gives a various amount of light and different degrees of sight outside-in and inside-out.

此外，受曼谷艺术文化中心(BACC)(其网站几乎被另一家百货公司收购)的长期斗争历史的影响，Lit注定会被视为另一个地区的艺术品，在那里它使人们相信，商业世界可能会变暗，并与更多的艺术融合在一起。

Also influenced by a long fought history of the close-by Bangkok Art and Cultural Center – BACC (its site almost gave away to another department store), LIT is destined to be perceived as another district’s artwork, where it convinces that the world of commercials may be dimmed and merged with the more of art & design realm. Like a candle “lit” in the district, where art and comfort could well blend together, yet charming enough to attract the interests of any strangers in this small metropolis.
