Y-TUO Hotel Design sees the hotel space as a medium for the re-expression of local culture and uses the hotel as a vehicle to connect traditional culture with modern life, so that consumers can discover the original intent of the past to open up the future.
The entrance to the Y-TUO Hotel in Chengdu is guided by paper airplanes. It will be presented in origami through artistic design technique which also echoes the fluttering shape of the hotel's facade.The free and unrestricted curves fly to different cities, which convey national memories and culture trends.
The lobby is not only refined with the historic bicycle as the main elements to link the space, but also integrated with Chengdu culture elements, such as neon sign, the tea house, local food and Sichuan opera. The ornament of space creates a special lifestyle experience space for the guests, and create a new way to refresh the history.
The guest room of Y-Tuo Hotel extracts materials from the concept of "three turns and one sound" in the old era,including bicycle, sewing machine, watch and radio. The design builds a spiritual bridge with consumers through the translation and reconstruction of its concept.
