Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Through the integration of structure, streamline, color and graphics to complete the elegant temperament of space, using the minimalist patterns of abstract nature to complete the background vision, the quiet and minimalist background of the space subject more arouses the same feeling of consumers visiting the art gallery. All of these techniques eventually point to a kind of goodwill gesture, which makes a good time to stop and become a more valuable memory.

- Research

Many of the scenarios in this hotel design are that people do not have enough perspective to see the world. This desire to express is precisely what designers want to arouse the feeling of gentleness and waiting for life.
- Challenge
- It is difficult to do animals welfare projects in commercial hotels. Designers have considered the topic of animal protection carefully. They need to consider whether consumers are willing to accept such information, whether they can make profits for hotels.

The use of human society for the violation of animal rights and interests of the elements, such as biopharmaceuticals, Cat Shit coffee, to reflect the real relationship between human and animals, thus triggering people's thinking and exploration of animal protection.
- Operation and Interaction
