Ecosign's visionary planning at Thaiwoo Resort transformed it into a premier four-season destination, blending on-mountain adventure with a vibrant resort village. Our comprehensive Master Plan created a haven for adventure, leisure, and luxury, setting new standards for resort and four season recreation excellence.
Commissioned by Raissun Investment Company in 2010, Ecosign developed a comprehensive four-phase Master Plan for Thaiwoo Resort, featuring 436 ha of skiable terrain, 46 ski lifts, and a capacity for over 30,000 skiers per day. The first phase, completed in 2015, introduced a vibrant village with hotels, residential units, and state-of-the-art ski facilities, all within walking distance of the slopes. The village's lively pedestrian streets, centered around a gondola plaza, offer a dynamic mix of dining, shopping, and entertainment, from ice skating in winter to outdoor patios in summer.
Ecosign’s vision extended beyond winter, transforming Thaiwoo into a year-round destination. The 2021 Phase 2 design introduced new recreational activities, including a commercial village, water park, spa, and facilities for summer activities like mountain biking, zip lines, hiking, and music festivals. With its thoughtful integration of four-season amenities and its capacity to host over 80,000 guests, Thaiwoo has emerged as a premier destination in Hebei Province, China. Ecosign's innovative design has redefined mountain resorts, blending adventure, luxury, and sustainability in a seamless, awe-inspiring environment.
