Unique Properties
Ascending the steps from the entrance, the lobby space opens up dramatically, blurring the lines between city life and vacation time. The inclusion of elements like mountain waterfalls, garden views, and the replication of traditional residential aesthetics such as dougong brackets and moon gates, blending Eastern and Western styles, represents a symbiosis between humanity and nature a consistent design philosophy throughout the project.

Production Technology
The marble landscape pattern complements the large leather carving of the Western Sea map on the wall backdrop, directly conveying the beauty of the landscape. The moon gate to the right of the lobby end view is the entrance to the lobby bar, where a rhododendron themed screen separates the lobby bar into a tea room and the all day dining restaurant.
Design Challenge
The diverse guest rooms, themed around different floors, offer unique experiences for guests, making full use of the stunning views outside the windows. This effectively caters to the needs of various groups, including business travelers, vacationers, families, and leisure seekers.
Project Duration
The project is located in Wuning, China and was completed in January 2021.
Operation Flow
The open plan lobby is spacious and airy, with distant mountains in the background, a blue carpet with water ripples, welcoming pine trees on wooden tables, and flowers on glass pillars, creating a natural harmony between architecture and landscape. Near the moon gate is the tea room, where the beige background and light camel colored tea tables and benches create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
Research
The green plants in the white porcelain vase, the blue water patterned painting on the background wall, and the red of the master chair all stand out from the picture, creating a beautiful scene of mountains, water, green trees, and red flowers in Xihai. The island platform with its dougong design, the exquisite porcelain vases and porcelain paintings, and the creative landscape background composed of a celadon porcelain spoon achieve a harmonious integration of lakes, mountains, and culture.
Inspiration
A hotel is often a way to remember a city, because every resort hotel that deeply reflects the local culture and characteristics is a shining star in the city architectural landscape. Let nature take the lead in the design, bringing the scenery into the guest rooms, and using a resort style that resonates with nature to fulfill the inspiration of a city vacation, thus redefining the value and enhancing the hotel brand.
