About Haisi Resort

Haisi is a resort interior design located in a river town in Fujian, China. The project reproduces the style of a century-old water town in Fuzhou and highlights local culture. Several courtyards are staggered to form enclosed and private areas, and each courtyard serves one guest room. The executive room uses a three-entry layout, with a drop-off area, a bedroom facing the courtyard and a garden. Warm wooden tones, brown and gold finishes, lacquer paintings and wood carvings recall traditional southern Fujian houses.

The first entry space is the drop-off area; the second entry is the bedroom area, using symmetrical arrangement, the bed faces the courtyard, making the scenery the focus of sight, the ceiling height restores the original appearance of the building to the greatest extent, and uses traditional purlins to interpret the antique flavor of southern Fujian buildings; the three entrances are courtyards, making the space full of greenery.
Design Challenge: The traditional furniture in southern Fujian is ingenious and gorgeous in decoration, with strong three-dimensional effect and grandeur. The window lattices are engraved with flowers and birds, the lacquer paintings on the screens are luxurious and exquisite. To simulate the ancient local building, the furniture and cabinet doors are painted with the traditional craftsmanship of mother-of-pearl inlay work and lacque. The background painting is used to describe the vicissitudes of life and increase the cultural charm of the guest room.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2021 and the design was finished in October 2021.
Operation Flow: The overall executive room adopts a soft and warm wooden tone, and is decorated with brilliant and gorgeous brown and gold, so that the whole space shows the royal feeling, and the partition and the ceiling are harmonious and unified.
Research: The furniture in the project echoes the local big house in southern Fujian. The luxurious lacquer paintings are the inheritance of handicrafts, and the exquisite wood carvings highlight the unique charm of southern Fujian furniture. The pattern is intriguing, and the texture is fine and delicate, highlighting the brilliance of Southern Fujian culture.
Inspiration: As a business card and landmark of cultural tourism in Fuzhou, the design is inspired by the ancient heritage of Fujian. The Haisi Resort inherits the architectural characteristics of the southern Fujian house which combines the high-rise roof ridge, carved beams and pillars, and wall brick reliefs to form a unique southern Fujian architectural courtyard.
