Set beside Baoyun Lake and facing the 95,700-acre Ningbo Bay National Wetland Park, this urban resort hotel offers a retreat into nature amid urban vibrancy. Rooted in the aesthetics of Song Dynasty gardens and inspired by Oriental courtyard traditions, the design blends modern minimalism with cultural depth. 71 Chinese-style courtyard guest rooms create a serene stay experience that bridges natural beauty and refined spatial rhythm. Sloped-roof structures, floor-to-ceiling windows, and latticed facades foster a dialogue between interior and exterior. Wooden structures and soft lighting evoke emotional warmth and a sense of calm. The design avoids symbolic excess, instead favoring poetic minimalism and natural textures to express Oriental elegance. Integrated wellness, dining, and leisure functions expand the vacation experience, while the application of the Peak-End Rule ensures lasting emotional resonance. By translating cultural heritage and natural elements into spatial narratives, the project redefines the essence of urban micro-vacations and offers an ideal haven for rest and renewal.
