Production Technology
The main materials in this project are art paint, wood floor tiles, tung oil bark, steel structure, ecological large stone pieces, original wind wood.
Design Challenge
Each guest room of the hotel has an independent bubble pool, which can continuously supply flowing hot springs for residents through thermal energy conversion, so as to avoid energy waste and environmental pollution caused by large consumption of electricity and natural gas.
Research
Although the second floor uses the contemporary architectural system, the material selection echoes the local traditional way. The roof is made of local bark soaked in tung oil, combined with the modern white wall to deduce the beauty of ancient and modern integration.
Inspiration
Starting from the local lifestyle and national culture, the design of RGB Hotel hopes to convey to people the brand positioning of visualization, youth and life through modern design methods. At the same time, it also perfectly fits the three elements, namely, red represents sunrise and sunset, green symbolizes ecological jungle and blue implies sky hot spring.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2020 in Kangding and finished in August 2021 in Kangding.
Operation Flow
Retaining the broken wall is not only a dissemination of beauty, but also a protection of ancient buildings.
