About Yutaifeng Interior d'Ostal

Yutaifeng es un interior d'ostal de repaus situat a Yingshan, en China, amb una superfícia totala de 6 300 metres quadrats. La concepcion s'organiza a l'entorn d'una cort centrala amb jòcs d'aiga e s'inspira de la cultura dels jardins de Jiangnan en China. Una granda cupola marca l'intrada del vestibul, mentre que corredors de bambó, cantons de corredor, salas de tè, restaurants e cambras d'òste son ligats per un percors de jardin al long del qual son plaçadas d'òbras d'art. De materials naturals coma lo boès e las pinturas texturadas remplaçan los materials sintetics industrials. L'esclairatge met en valor la lutz e non pas los aparelhs, e s'adapta segon los diferents moments de la jornada.

Unique Properties: Push open the door of the hotel and walk slowly into the lobby. The huge dome has an oriental aesthetic temperament, with a very contrasting scale, impacting people's visual experience. Passing through the hazy layers, you will find that the wonderful water landscape is hidden behind it. The oriental charm hits you in the face, and the noise of the city has disappeared.
Dimensions & Packaging: The space functions as a hotel with a total area of 6,300 square meters.
Tags: hotel, oriental, zen, modern, art
Production Technology: In terms of material application, natural materials such as wood and textured paint are selected to avoid the use of industrial synthetic materials, responding to the relationship with nature with sustainable materials. In terms of lighting design, the principle of seeing light instead of lamps and liberating the ceiling is advocated, and the design is carried out according to the requirements of light in different time periods to achieve sustainable energy utilization.
Design Challenge: As a resort hotel brand that advocates connection with nature, how to more closely connect culture and nature is a challenge for both designers and brands. From the moment you arrive at the hotel, the presentation of artworks, the design of the roof garden, the natural landscapes cleverly interspersed in the public areas, and the organic crop planting areas are all responses to nature.
Research: The designer is committed to studying the application and innovation of Chinese culture in architectural space, expressing the design concept with personalized and unique visual language, and interpreting Chinese cultural elements with new visual communication. Contemporaneity, culture, artistry, integration and symbiosis are used as design language for spatial expression. The inspiration for design is sought from the commonality and collision between tradition and the present, and the spiritual appeal of design culture is sought in the combination of historical memory fragments and current thoughts.
Inspiration: The hotel is built around a central waterscape courtyard, integrating Chinese Jiangnan culture into contemporary exquisite life aesthetics, and integrating it with architecture, landscape, interior, and humanistic design. Traveling through various areas of the hotel, exploring the perceptual impressions of the garden and scale, and feeling the unique oriental charm and atmosphere, people can experience tranquility and peace in person.
Project Duration: The project is located in Yingshan, China and was designed in March 2024.
Operation Flow: Various works of art are cleverly placed in the carefully planned Jiangnan garden tour route, echoing the designer's hope to present a spatial artistic conception of changing scenery with every step and different emotions in each scene: in the hazy and winding bamboo corridors, in the quiet and elegant corners of the corridors, in the tea room, in the restaurant, at the corners of the staircases, in other aesthetic spaces of life, and even in every guest room, you can feel the presence of art.
