During a site visit for a resort project in Sa Pa, amidst the steep terrain and especially cold climate, what impressed Eden most was not the view or the altitude, but the high density of ancient Samu trees existing at the site of the project.

Despite the dense forest, steep terrain, and difficult access, Eden’s team meticulously inspected, compared, and evaluated each Samu tree with the goal of maximizing its preservation. Each tree was considered as part of the foundational structure of the future landscape, not simply as a condition needing remediation.

To many, the Samu forest offers nothing but only shade. To Eden, the Samu forest is a living witness to the land, a wonderful source material for the investor to tell visitors the story of how this resort was created. The beauty of the resort lies not only in its outward appearance or service delivery process, but also in the stories told by the buggy drivers and bartenders to guests during their journey.

Based on this, we chose to relocate, restore, and replant the existing Samu trees within the new landscape structure, combining them with native trees in a multi-layered model. This approach ensures sustainable landscape development over time while preserving the unique character of the land.

For Eden, native values ​​is always a crucial foundation in its design. These inherent elements create the “soul” of the project, allowing the resort space to connect more deeply with nature and the people of the area.
