會安阿特拉斯酒店位於會安古鎮，自被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產以來，此地便發展飛快。近年來，大部分的古厝都已改建成商店與餐廳，服務每日湧入會安的旅客。會安以美麗的瓦頂房舍及中庭聞名，中庭能在房舍的內與外之間，營造出空間上的層次感。商業化帶來的混亂導致這種層次感漸漸流逝，也使古鎮失去了歲月靜好的魅力。

阿特拉斯酒店的建地形狀並不規則，因此設計策略是把這項限制變成獨一無二的特色。長條形的格局切分出數個內部中庭，建物架高，完全開放的一樓把散置的中庭串接起來。這樣的空間設計一方面反映出會安的新活力，一方面也保留古鎮的迷人元素。

五層樓的飯店共有四十八間客房，各種休閒設施包括餐廳、咖啡館、頂樓酒吧、spa館、健身房及游泳池。為配合複雜的建地形狀，客房比典型的飯店客房更短也更寬。如此一來，客房能迎入更多綠意，不僅是臥室，從浴室也能望見蔥綠景色。

建物外牆覆蓋當地生產的砂岩板搭配混凝土板，並沿著廊道設置花台。整片建物外牆上都有花台延伸，不僅能夠遮陽，也使整個空間涼爽通風。除此之外，石牆上的孔眼既能透入陽光，又不會阻擋空氣流動。自然通風的設計，使空調設備的需求降至最低。盎然綠意與自然元素，充分體現出「樹之辦公室」與「樹之房屋」的概念：植物與建物融為一體，為都會地區注入新生，提振社會活力。阿特拉斯酒店的核心精神，就是讓人類與自然重回彼此的懷抱。

Atlas Hotel Hoian is located in Hoi An’s "Old Town", an area which has rapidly grown since it was officially named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Recently, most of the ancient houses have been converted into shops and restaurants that serve the daily influx of tourism. The neighborhood is well known for its beautiful tiled-roofscape and its internal courtyards that provide a layered spatial quality between the inner and outer spaces. This quality has been slowly eroded due to chaotic commercial flow. As a consequence, Old Town has lost its charm of a calm and peaceful lifestyle.

Located in an irregular plot of land, the design approach of Atlas Hotel is to turn this constrain into its unique character. The linear layout is divided into several internal courtyards, and by lifting the building above the site, it completely frees the ground floor to create an inter-connected network of courtyards. This spatial quality reflects the dynamism of the new Hoi An but also retains the charm of the Old Town.

The five story hotel includes 48 guest rooms as well as various leisure functions such as restaurant, café, rooftop bar, spa, gym and swimming pool. Due to the complexity of the site, each guest room is shorter and wider than typical hotel rooms. Rather than a problem, this presented an opportunity for the rooms to have greater access to greenery not only from the bedroom but also from the bathroom.

The building façade is clad with locally-sourced sandstone pieces used in combination with an exposed concrete slab and a series of planters along the corridors. The planters are arranged along the entire façade of the hotel not only provides solar shading but also allows cooler air to ventilate the spaces. In addition, the perforated stone walls admit daylight without blocking air flow. This scheme allows the place to be naturally ventilated to minimise the use of air conditioner. The use of these green and natural elements embodies the particular interest of the office and the House for Trees concept: to integrate greenery into design as a way to rejuvenate urban areas and to contribute to societal improvement. At its core, Atlas Hotel reconnects man with nature.
