The Design
About Shaoxing Designatio Amoenitatum Deversorii
Amoenitates Deversorii Shaoxing est designatio horti pro deversorio ad radices montis Fushan in urbe Shaoxing Sinarum creata. Designatio conceptum montium viridium et aquae limpidae sequitur, locumque cum cultura locali et cum specie circumiacenti coniungit. Amoenitates circa tres areas explicantur, quae Qingbai, Ningcui et Tingyu nominantur, quaeque argumenta montis, aquae et pluviae exprimunt. Aqua, saxa et arbores penjing scaenam quasi picturam volubilem tribus dimensionibus ante atrium efficiunt. Arbores exstantes servantur, et prospectus quasi fenestris inclusi areas cum monte remoto coniungunt.

- Unique Properties
- As mountain-facing landscapes are integrated and old and new building volumes are unified, Shaoxing Hotel achieves the transition from a generous welcoming atmosphere to the elegant and tranquil one. Landscapes inside the hotel unfold around Qingbai Courtyard, Ningcui Courtyard and Tingyu Courtyard, which express the natural themes of mountain, water, and rain, respectively.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Project area: 44624 square meters
Type: Hotel - Tags
- Shaoxing Hotel, Jiangnan-style, UAD, landscape design, traditional charm
- Production Technology
- Inspired by the painting the Hills of Kuaiji, the grand landscapes composed of water, stones and bonsai in Qingbai Courtyard appear like a quaint, vivid three-dimensional scroll painting in front of the hotel lobby.
Through modern techniques, Tingyu Courtyard reveals traditional charm. On rainy days, the drops on eaves fall into waterscape, while stacked stones are also gradually sunken. It's romantic to listen to the rain and look up at distant mountains while sitting in front of the courtyard. - Design Challenge
- The time frame from schematic design to completion was limited within seven months. Within a tight schedule, the design team needed to handle a lot of tasks while fulfilling high requirements as well. The biggest challenge was how to connect the hotel with the local culture, how to create a dialogue with the site environment, and how to make upgrades based on the hotel's original style. These were also key points of the landscape design.
- Research
- Based on the nearby scenic Fushan Mountain Garden and traditional Chinese landscaping techniques such as "borrowing", "metaphorizing" and "analogy", the project creates a dialogue with mountain and water. Through drawing on local unique features, the design creates a distinctive landscape setting for Shaoxing Hotel, portraying a picture with lush trees, elegant pines and intoxicating seasonal sceneries. The project is highly recognized by the client, citizens, experts and the authority.
- Inspiration
- Shaoxing Hotel is located at the foot of Fushan Mountain in Shaoxing, an ancient city with a profound history. Based on this context, the landscape design aims to connect with the local culture, dialogue with the site environment, and make improvement based on the original style of the hotel. The landscape design takes the concept of "green mountain and clear water" to create a beautiful setting with luxuriant trees, elegant pines and intoxicating seasonal sceneries for the hotel.
