RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project area is not very large, and it is designed as a boutique hotel. The starting point of our design is to create a hotel of best quality service, peace and quiet environment without too much decoration, where people can put down trouble and enjoy life through the purification of soul.
The design concept is based on “pureness” - a word of Chinese Buddhism – which means a clean and peace mind free from external disturbances. The designers simplify the interior decoration to the largest extent so as to emphasize on people’s feelings in the space.
Considering the overall environment, the designers make it an ancient Chinese architecture style. The outdoor gives an experience of China's ancient garden, while the interior is a modern relaxed experience. The outdoor and indoor are connected by a home garden. The space experience is from building into the garden and then to the indoor, where people can purify the soul in the experience process. The interior is open and transparent, simple and clear, where there is not much decoration and you have more space for self-imagination.
CHALLENGE: The most difficult part in the design is to reach a consensus with the client. The client has a lot of change requirements after seeing the semi-finished construction, and designers adhere to the original design. The project effects are predictive to avoid a variety of communication problems.
