About Phoenix Nest Homestay

Phoenix Nest is a homestay located in the tourist resort town of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan. The interior also serves as an experience hall for hand-made copper household products. The color scheme is based on black, white and gray, supported by wood tones and plant green, so that the copper objects stand out. The kitchen is open in plan and combines a concrete counter, solid wood boards, colored glass bowls and ceramic pots. A long western-style table is used for shared dining. White gauze curtains soften the sunlight and protect privacy in each room.

Production Technology: The open kitchen is like a pair of warm hands, unreservedly open to friends from all over the world. The concrete mesa is paved with solid wood plates with rings. On the hearth are colored glass bowls and ceramic pots. Matte black steel and red brown copper metal elements are dotted with black walls. The kitchen is also open-plan and uses a western-style long table without a separate table.
Design Challenge: In pool design, the designers jumped out of the blue and white marseille rule commonly used by the swimming pool in the city, and made it show the texture of fine gems hidden under the water with the refraction of water light in the way of black and white mosaic gradual collage.
Research: This project is located in the tourist resort town of Fuxian Lake, Vanke, surrounded by mountains, buildings and lakes. The Qifeng building, which is born and entered into the WTO, is like the "ferry boat" for tourists on the journey. The impetuosity and fatigue brought by the prosperity of the ferry, also shortens the distance between relatives, friends or themself.
Inspiration: The female owner has studied related majors in the school of hotel management in Lausanne, Switzerland. After returning home, she runs a brand store of pure hand-made copper household products. She has always planned to design a home stay hotel with the theme of hand-made copper elements. In this way,she can not only apply what she has learned, but also show the handmade products to the customers and friends who don't know about it yet.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2018 in Yunnan and finished in December 2019 in Yunnan.
Operation Flow: In order to let the sunlight spread all over every corner of the room and protect the privacy of the guests without dazzling, designers equipped each room with white gauze curtain curtain, even the rest in the daytime can get a comfortable experience.
