The Design

About Luxeh Hotelindretning

Luxeh er en hotelindretning beliggende i det naturskønne Vestsø-område i Hangzhou, Kina. Designet bevarer den oprindelige arkitektur og bygningens facade, som krævet for det fredede område. Indendørs rum og udendørs rum behandles som to separate systemer, så moderne resort- og kommercielle funktioner placeres inden for en bygning med historisk stil. Nedbrudte trædele på facaden behandles med en brændingsmetode, der har været anvendt siden Song-dynastiet, hvilket forkuller overfladen og bevarer materialet intakt.

Unique Properties: This project is located in West Lake scenic area. Because of the demand of government, protecting original architecture and building elevation is rigid requirement. In the process of designing, separated interior space and outdoor space as two system. Engineering on the basis of architectural main style of hundred years, and keeping modern resorts and commercial function in interior space.
Dimensions & Packaging: Based on the original architectural form, some interface between roofs and walls just two meter-high. It formed narrow narrow space but cannot be abandoned. So we programmed spaces like this to wash basin or storage space. Meanwhile, ceramic decorated the walls of toilet, so the height of toilet depends on the modularization multiple of ceramic bricks to reduced material waste and keep successfully.
