This project was redesigned by 01 DESIGN LAB x NATURAL DESIGN during construction. Without making any structural changes, the team crafted a minimalist, nature-focused hotel design. Drawing inspiration from the traditional Fujian Tulou in China, the hotel brings people closer with a sense of community.
Since the site is in an area without natural scenery, the team used the pool, paired with an open ceiling, to create a picturesque view. Natural lighting and shadows at different times of the day, or in different weather conditions, give the hotel an ever-changing look, and the glass railings allow the guests to enjoy the view without obstruction. The design circles around round shapes and curves. Using a white palette, the beauty of the architectural forms can be further accentuated by the shadows and light.
The hotel rooms are arranged in a radial pattern, with fan-shaped spaces allowing for creative interior design possibilities, such as foot-to-foot bed placements and unique platform designs. The team used only eco-friendly materials and avoided changes to the structure to minimize environmental impact, reflecting the team’s commitment to simplicity and eco-friendliness.
