| DESIGN NAME: Hilton Hangzhou Qiandao Lake Resort PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hotel INSPIRATION: The design theme of water coincides with locally characteristic culture and is integrated well with Qiandao Lake scenery, the Most Beautiful Lake of Heaven. The design meets the needs of different residents which adds the market value of hotel. The interior space extends the bracing and agreeable Qiandao Lake scenery, and the hotel becomes one ideal place for local wedding ceremonies and conventions where the guests feel reluctant to leave. The design integrates vague Chinese elements into the hotel, including the hanging landscape paintings and corridor murals featuring Chinese-style lines. Apart from its characteristic functions and views, we also integrate some art displays and designs of the boutique hotel into this design to upgrade the level of five-star hotel. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In designing the interior of Hilton Hangzhou Qiandao Lake Resort the company drew inspiration from the stunning lake and surrounding mountains, while representing the five ancient Chinese elements – metal, wood, fire, earth and water. Water as a theme runs through each of the seven connected buildings with their 349 guest rooms – its form, colours, character and rhythm. The look is no one style but a combination of genres, with materials in an eclectic mix of textures and patterns, from wood and leather to velvet, jade, travertine, onyx, marble and glass. The hotel is a combination of tradition and modernity, a luxury destination for both corporate and leisure travellers that delivers on a business and resort level. Pectacular crystal chandeliers grace the ceiling of the main lobby, mirror-clad pillars and mosaic walls emphasise the feeling of space, and landscape paintings and murals reflect Chinese culture. Rooms and suites are furnished with art deco-style furniture and Chinese details. The feel is opulent but comfortable, with rich colours, sumptuous soft furnishings and spa-like bathrooms. In all, the interior reflects a timeless sense of luxury, a harmony in design that combines Chinese and western cultures in a space that exudes elegance and grace. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: From concept brewing to layout planning to display of artifacts, it was because of every body’s passion for hotel design and consensus on the design concept that they successfully concluded the project in such a short period. With rich experience in project management, each team member adopted high criteria for every single detail, dispatching specialized designers in different hotel sections to follow up and co-ordinate in the whole process. In the meantime, to best collaborate Party A and the management company, they monitored the construction site real-time to make sure the project was on the right track. Since the opening date, they have been very responsive to market feedback. What is positively held is the rich design styles of the hotel, with make it outstands among its peers. On the product side, they have boldly mixed and matched varied styles of product mix, which is a direct contributor to higher occupancy rate and wider market appeal. Thanks to heavy media exposure, the hotel has enjoyed certain influence and has now been in the most popular hotel club in the local market. Needless to say, the biggest beneficiaries to the encouraging financial performance of the hotel are the management company and property owner, who have improved awareness and contributed to boosting the GDP of the whole tourism industry. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was initiated in February 2010 and completed in July 2011 in Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou.
