About Luxeh Hotellinnredning

Luxeh er en hotellinnredning plassert i det naturskjønne West Lake-området i Hangzhou, Kina. Designet bevarer den opprinnelige arkitekturen og bygningens fasade, som er et krav for dette vernede stedet. Interiørrommet og uterommet behandles som to separate systemer, slik at moderne resort- og kommersielle funksjoner er plassert innenfor en bygning med historisk stil. Nedbrutte trepartier i fasaden er behandlet med en brenningsmetode som har vært brukt siden Song-dynastiet, som karboniserer overflaten og bevarer materialet intakt.

Unique Properties
This project is located in West Lake scenic area. Because of the demand of government, protecting original architecture and building elevation is rigid requirement. In the process of designing, separated interior space and outdoor space as two system. Engineering on the basis of architectural main style of hundred years, and keeping modern resorts and commercial function in interior space.
Dimensions & Packaging
Based on the original architectural form, some interface between roofs and walls just two meter-high. It formed narrow narrow space but cannot be abandoned. So we programmed spaces like this to wash basin or storage space. Meanwhile, ceramic decorated the walls of toilet, so the height of toilet depends on the modularization multiple of ceramic bricks to reduced material waste and keep successfully.
