The Design

About Alila Wuzhen Ostalariá

Alila Wuzhen es un ostal inspirat per las vilas d'aiga al sud del flume Yangtze. Lo plan general pren los vilatges tradicionals de la region coma prototipe, e ne serva las formas espacialas, los elements de basa, las escalas de las bastissas e las relacions de colors. Los elements decoratius dirèctes son evitats, e s'utilizan puslèu de materials fins, d'estructuras simplas e de colors modèrnas e suaus. De largas susfàcias de veire, de grandas fuèlhas de pòrta e de teuladas prigondas en susplomb forman un quadre continú e ordenat. Las carrièras, las androns e los pàtis recebon de foncions novèlas. L'ostalariá cobrís 25000 mètres carrats.

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.
