The hotel is located in Mogan Mountain, two hours’ drive from Shanghai. As a place for holiday relaxing, it is designed to be a minimalist and calming space. The space has minimized visual distractors and no proactive expressions. People feel its existence blurring and tend to focus more on its natural surroundings. White cement structures are consistently used to form moving lines and particular functional areas. In the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, a nature-connected way of living gives us the chance to cure and cleanse ourselves.
Exhibition spaces are embedded in the hotel’s public area. The public area is designed as an open space, which ensures smooth air circulation. Against the backdrop of COVID-19 pandemic, it offers people a space to connect with the nature, and have interactions in a mild yet encouraged way. Here, we promote guest to guest, and guest to nature connections through our open and human-centered exhibition spaces.
It is also the built proof that a simple, low cost, comfortable and nature-connected living space can be created through design with commercial objectives being achieved.
