About Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai Рэканструкцыя інтэр'еру
Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai — гэта рэканструкцыя інтэр'еру гатэля, які ўпершыню адкрыўся ў 1983 годзе. Элементы, звязаныя з ідэнтычнасцю будынка, захаваны, у тым ліку сцяна стойкі рэгістрацыі, паглыбленая прастора і агульная функцыянальная планіроўка. У вестыбюлі размешчана выгнутая вінтавая лесвіца са шклянымі поручнямі, якія мякка свецяцца ноччу. Паглыблены ландшафтны басейн быў ператвораны ў ціхую зону для сустрэч з шырмамі-перагародкамі, якія забяспечваюць прыватнасць. Фірмовы чырвоны колер захаваны і спалучаны з цёплымі карамельнымі адценнямі. Камень, выняты ў 1983 годзе, выгравіраваны з указаннем года і прадстаўлены як твор мастацтва.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The project is an interior renovation of the Hua Ting Hotel Towers Shanghai, which has been destined for distinction since its founding in 1983. As China’s first five-star hotel established through a Sino-foreign joint venture, it served as Shanghai’s inaugural gateway to the world during the early days of reform and opening-up.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Every corner of the building, from the lobby to the executive lounge, narrates "the new story of old Hua Ting", honoring tradition while embracing the future. The lobby features Shanghai's grandeur and elegance. The original spiral staircase and escalators were replaced with a "dragon coiling" curved spiral staircase featuring glass handrails that glow softly at night. The sunken structure of the landscape pool was retained and repurposed into a tranquil negotiation area, with screen partitions offering both privacy and transparency. A high skylight allows sunlight and greenery to interplay beautifully.
