Project Description
The Grand Cosmos Resort is the first and one of the only two “Excellent Five Star Hotel” certified by Taiwan’s Tourism Bureau. It is a tourist hotel, resort villa, hot spring hotel, and water park into an entity. Meticulous planning ensured that the construction site harmonized perfectly with the natural landscape. The design concept embraces the grandeur of Southern European manor architecture, featuring steeply pitched roofs, towering spires, gables, ornate dormer windows, and chimneys. The project has around 30 structures of different sizes and functions, positioned around a central plaza, creating a well-organized and peaceful hot spring town. Also, the overall building coverage ratio is 19.76%, less than half of what local regulations require, which attains sustainable architecture. Besides, base greening, water retention, and rainwater recycling system ensure efficient resource management. It establishes a resort-wide barrier-free environment. By incorporating accessibility, the building ensures that it is easily accessible to individuals of all physical abilities and guarantees everyone can enjoy the amenities and facilities without limitations.
