About Muh Shoou Xixi Hotel
Muh Shoou Xixi è un hotel immerso nella zona umida di Xixi. La struttura nasce dal recupero di cinque vecchi edifici già presenti sul sito. La trasformazione strutturale è stata realizzata con un intervento minimo, così che gli edifici si integrino armoniosamente con il bosco e il sistema idrico circostanti. Gli alberi con un diametro del tronco pari o superiore a 10 centimetri sono stati censiti per specie, denominazione e livello radicale, e la disposizione planimetrica segue la vegetazione originaria, costituita principalmente da alberi di cachi. Una sala per banchetti di 300 metri quadrati è racchiusa da vetrate su tre lati. Un percorso d'acqua tracciato sulla base della morfologia originaria del terreno consente l'arrivo in barca.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The project boasts typical wetland ecology with water path, land route as well as native vegetation surrounding.
There are many kinds of plants surrounding the hotel, most of them are persimmon trees, among which the oldest tree is 100-year-old. The building team recorded root elevation, species and names of all trees with DBH of 10 cm one by one, and "weaved" the building into the environment so as to adapt to the layout of the original vegetation. - Dimensions & Packaging
- GFA: 7000 square meters
- Tags
- integrate nature into design and reconstructing landscape
- Production Technology
- The banquet hall with plentiful lights is surrounded by 270 ° French window, and its indoor space covering an area of 300 ㎡ seamless blend with outdoor natural forests, lawns and waterside terrace. It would be a unique experience to hold a banquet, clothing show, auto show or any other activities in a such a forest-like place.
The design of water route is based on the original land-form of the wetland, enabling people who are accustomed to land transporting to travel along the ancient waterway to the hotel. In the water waves stirred by the oars, people could appreciate the beauty of Xixi Wetland from a different perspective. - Design Challenge
- The hotel is renovated from five old buildings originally on this site. The challenge to architects is how to meet the needs of modern hotels in an ecologically optimal way. After making a large number of on-site investigations, architects completed the structural transformation and integrated system layout with extremely minimal intervention, so that the building could be connected with surrounding forest and water system smoothly.
