The project embodies a harmonious lifestyle between humanity and nature. The design focuses on preserving nature's essence and seamlessly integrating it into the overall aesthetic.
From the designer's perspective, the harmony between architecture and environment begins with reflection, exploration, and application of local characteristics - the initial steps toward returning to nature. The Bamboo Grove Single Bedroom , structured with Tatami mats, forms a Japanese-style tourist cottage, where bamboo and wood interweave between earth and walls. A skylight opens up the natural vista of the space, and the designer places blocks of original wood color within, creating layers and an intriguing play of light and shadow.
The use of natural materials, such as rammed earth and wood, not only promotes environmental protection but also contributes to the artistic expression and overall ambiance of the spaces. The design creates a relaxing lounge area that encourages social interactions and provides a serene environment for guests to unwind.

Overall, the The Nanjing Back To Yaxi Manor Resort serves as a retreat that combines external landscapes with a narrative of seclusion.
