About Alila Wuzhen Hōtēra
He hōtēra a Alila Wuzhen i whakaaweahia e ngā tāone wai kei te tonga o te awa o Yangtze. Ka tangohia e te mahere whānui ngā kāinga tuku iho o taua rohe hei tauira, ā, ka pupurihia ō rātou hanganga mokowā, ngā huānga taketake, ngā rahinga whare me ngā hononga tae. Ka karohia ngā huānga whakapaipai tōtika, engari ka whakamahia kē ngā rauemi kounga, ngā hanganga māmā me ngā tae hou āta noho. Ko ngā mata karaihe whānui, ngā rau kūaha nunui me ngā tuanui tāwharau hōhonu ka hanga i tētahi anga haere tonu, whai raupapa hoki. Ka whakawhiwhia ngā tiriti, ngā ara whāiti me ngā marae ki ngā mahi hou. E 25000 mita pūrua te rahi o te hōtēra.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- This project overall pattern takes villages south of the Yangtze River as its prototype, and retains the spatial forms, basic elements, architectural scales and color relations of traditional tribes. The tranquil water surface and pure architectural form are well coordinated, which perfectly reflects the multi-level and semi-transparent relations between buildings, between buildings and plants, as well as between buildings and water surface.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- GFA: 25000 square meters
- Tags
- Maze, Minimalist, Village, Abstract, Nature
- Production Technology
- Extensive application of glass, large span of door leaf and large size of overhanging eave blend together, forming a continuous and orderly frame. With well-proportioned shapes, volumes of different sizes and orderly layout, the building meets various functional demands.
- Design Challenge
- In the “imitation” and “reconstruction” of water towns south of the Yangtze River, the hotel has completed its inheritance of local culture and the spatial prototype of villages south of the Yangtze River, and tallied well with the special demands of the hotel for “unconventional” experience and “dramatic” scenarios. In such a unique architectural community, the history has encountered with the contemporary era, and the image of a modern village in organic growth appears vividly.
- Research
- The hotel design followed the “minimalist” aesthetic tendency of Oriental culture, and the architect captured and extracted the concise, exquisite and silent aesthetic interest of buildings south of the Yangtze River, abandoned all straightforward decorative elements, and introduced fine materials, concise structures and quietly elegant colors with modern tones instead, so that individual buildings of pure forms can repetitively emerge and organically grow.
- Inspiration
- The hotel design followed the "minimalist"aesthetic tendency of Oriental culture, and the architect captured and extracted the concise, exquisite and silent aesthetic interest of buildings south of the Yangtze River, abandoned all straightforward decorative elements, and introduced fine materials, concise structures and quietly elegant colors with modern tones instead, so that individual buildings of pure forms can repetitively emerge and organically grow. "complicated cluster"constitutes the most important structural characteristic of traditional villages.
- Project Duration
- The project started design in 2014 and finished in 2018.
- Operation Flow
- The architects also explored the possibility of traditional space reconstruction, and endowed streets, lanes, courtyards and other spatial types with new functions and spirits; meanwhile, the well-proportioned spaces full of twists and turns, usually seen in classic villages south of the Yangtze River, are still inherited in this project.
