About Hill Wind Deversorium et Locus Otii

Hill Wind est deversorium otiosum in Comitatu Anji, apud Huzhou, situm. Forma externa cogitationem architecturae modernae sequitur, figuris nubium geometricis ex ratione chartae plicandae ductis et in molem irregularem extensis. Materia membranacea alba his formis per mutationes structurales adiungitur. Intus, aditus angustus profundum spatii sensum efficit, et lacunar continenter fluens ab artificibus formatum et consutum est. Arundo bambusa lignumque e regione Anji pro materia aedificandi adhibentur. Opus tria milia quingentos metros quadratos complectitur et naturae circumiacentis speciem resonat.

Unique Properties: This case is a resort hotel design project, the outline of the external form adopts the thinking mode of modern architecture. The designer extracts the image of geometric clouds from the origami concept and extends the irregular shapes. With the same type of white film as the internationally renowned Burj Al Arab, the two elements are integrated through structural changes, which bring out the best in each other.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 3500 square meters. If the appearance of the building is striking to the visitors at first glance, people will be surprised to find that the building is "flowing" after entering the Hill Wind.

Production Technology: The fluctuate continuously ceiling is formed and stitched by craftsmen. In the selection of materials, the bamboo and wood abundant in Anji provide us with advantaged construction materials.
Design Challenge: The natural raw materials are warm and soft, without any decoration, and they harmoniously dissolve into the infinite greenness. It not only weakens the huge scale of the architectural framework and adds exquisite texture to the rigid concrete, but also echoes the surrounding natural landscape, making the building and nature more closely through this way. In the designer's opinion, a good life or a good design work must be related to nature, which is also the core of the design of this case.
Research: Hill Wind is located in the beautiful mountains and lake light of Anji County, Huzhou City. This ancient Longwang Village with over 200 years of ancient paper-making skills is known as the "Three Clean Places" of clean air, clean water and clean soil. It is a secluded quiet dwelling full of artistic flavor and embracing natural scenery.
Inspiration: According to the regional characteristics, the designer combines the local culture and historical context in the process of conception. Under the dominant atmosphere of modernism, the designer uses the language of design to create dialogue with space, and then interprets the visual, tactile and spiritual resonance, reproducing the Anji area humanistic landscape pattern of "The cicada noise highlights the silence of the forest, and birdsong sets off the depth of the mountain".
Project Duration: The project started in March 2017 in Huzhou and finished in April 2019 in Huzhou.
Operation Flow: Seen from the entrance, the narrow and long passage mysteriously carries a deep sense of space aesthetics. Combining the shape of the nest with the uneven stone, it creates a rough and steady visual effect. The quiet interior and the noisy exterior form a pulling feeling in space, which attracts the past customers.
