About Wuhan Senbo Resort Kapangidwe ka Mkati mwa Hotelo
Wuhan Senbo Resort ndi malo ochezera a mabanja omwe ali mkati mwa hotelo yopumira ku China. Kapangidwe kake kamasintha zithunzi za malo achilengedwe monga mapiri, madzi oyenda ndi maonekedwe a duwa la lotus kukhala nkhani ya malo yokopa maganizo. Chipinda cholandirira alendo chimadziwika ndi denga lokhota kawiri longa phiri lopangidwa ndi mapanelo apadera a gypsum olimbitsidwa ndi ulusi wa galasi. Njira za Building Information Modeling ndi parametric modeling zinagwiritsidwa ntchito pothetsa vuto la maonekedwe ovuta. Matabwa achilengedwe, kuluka nsungwi, zomaliza zosasokoneza chilengedwe ndi kuwala kwanzeru zimapanga malo abata kwa akuluakulu ndi ana.

About the Mphoto ya Platinamu ya A' Design Award
Wuhan Senbo Resort Kapangidwe ka Mkati mwa Hotelo ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Platinamu ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka kwambiri komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe apadera kwenikweni, okongola ndi aulemerero. Opambana a Platinamu ndi zodabwitsa za kulenga, umboni wa malire a nzeru za anthu, ndipo amaonetsa ukatswiri wosayerekezeka ndi luntha la opanga awo. Mapangidwe amenewa akuyembekezeka kukhala ntchito zotchuka kwambiri zomwe zimatsimikizira kukongola kwa nthawi yawo, kuthandiza ubwino wa gulu ndi kukulitsa malire a luso, sayansi, kapangidwe ndi ukadaulo. Wuhan Senbo Resort Kapangidwe ka Mkati mwa Hotelo amaonetsa mlingo wapamwamba wa ubwino ndipo mosakayikira amasandutsa dziko kukhala malo abwino kwambiri ndi makhalidwe ake opindulitsa ndi amtengo wapatali. Wuhan Senbo Resort Kapangidwe ka Mkati mwa Hotelo ndi ntchito yopambana Mphoto ya Platinamu ya A' Design Award yomwe imadzutsa zilakolako, imalimbikitsa, imasangalatsa ndi kubweretsa chisangalalo chachikulu.
Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- This project redefines the parent-child urban resort model by translating Wuhan's natural and cultural symbols mountains, water, and lotus into an immersive spatial narrative. Unlike designs that merely imitate nature, it uses abstraction, deconstruction, and material innovation to create an experiential environment. Advanced BIM simulations, custom glass fiber reinforced gypsum structures, and sustainable materials ensure both artistic expression and engineering precision.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project covers a total floor area of 118,000 square meters, with a 46,000 square meters interior scope. Key spatial components include large span public areas, guest rooms, themed spaces and multi functional zones. Technical highlights include double curved glass fiber reinforced gypsum structures, sustainable finish materials, intelligent lighting control, and modular prefabricated systems that ensure efficient construction and durability.

- Production Technology
- The project adopts building information modeling and parametric modeling to resolve complex double curved geometries, especially the lobby's iconic mountain like ceiling. Custom fabricated glass fiber reinforced gypsum panels ensure structural accuracy and seamless integration. Materials include glass fiber reinforced gypsum, polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified panels, artistic coatings, natural wood and bamboo weaving. Intelligent lighting simulates natural light filtering through lotus leaves, enhancing spatial atmosphere.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was integrating organic natural forms into a large scale commercial structure while meeting fire safety codes, load bearing requirements and ergonomic standards. The double curved lobby ceiling required advanced modeling and custom glass fiber reinforced gypsum fabrication. Balancing artistic expression, cost control, sustainability and regional culture demanded continuous coordination, technical innovation and interdisciplinary problem-solving.
- Research
- This applied design research aims to translate Wuhan's cultural ecology into spatial experience. Methods include site studies, cultural analysis, user behavior research and building information modeling simulations. Data was collected through environmental mapping and parent child experience interviews. Results show that abstracted natural imagery enhances emotional connection and guest satisfaction. The research strengthens cultural tourism branding and offers replicable strategies for nature based resort design.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by Wuhan's identity as the "River City" and the cultural legend "High Mountains and Flowing Water," symbolizing profound human connection. By extracting mountains, water and lotus as core motifs, the project aims to create a nature immersed sanctuary for families. The concept also stems from the Senbo brand spirit "Exploring Nature with Love" and research into local ecology, regional culture, and contemporary aesthetics.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2023 and finished in May 2025 in China.
- Operation Flow
- Guests engage with the space through a natural, narrative driven flow. The lobby introduces the "mountain" theme, guiding visitors into water inspired pathways and lotus themed rooms. Light, texture and spatial transitions immerse both adults and children in a calm yet exploratory environment. The design supports intuitive movement, rest, play and family interaction, creating a seamless resort experience.
