About Wuhan Senbo Resort Mamanu Totonu o le Faletalimalo
O le Wuhan Senbo Resort o se faletalimalo mo aiga o loo i Saina. O le mamanu e faaliliuina ata o le laufanua faalotoifale o mauga, vai tafe ma foliga o le lotus i se tala faaleagaga o le avanoa. O le potu talimalo e faailogaina e se faalo e pei o se mauga e faalua ona pi'o, ua faia i laupapa gypsum faamalosia i alava tioata na faapitoa ona fai. Sa faaaogaina le building information modeling ma le parametric modeling e foia ai le lavelave o le geometry. O laupapa faanatura, lalagaina o ofe, faauma gafataulimaina ma moli atamai e faatupuina ai se siosiomaga toafilemu mo tagata matutua ma tamaiti.
About the A' Design Award Platinamu
O le A' Design Award Platinamu na manumalo ai Wuhan Senbo Resort Mamanu Totonu o le Faletalimalo, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu e moni lava ona ese, matagofie ma mataʻina. O ē manumalo i le Platinamu o mea ofoofogia o le faatufugaga, o molimau o tapulaʻa o le mafaufau fatufatuaʻi, ma e faaalia ai le tomai faapolofesa e le mafaatusalia ma le atamai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina nei mamanu e avea ma galuega sili ona lauiloa e faamatalaina ai le matagofie o le vaitaimi, saunoa i le manuia o le sosaiete ma tuleia atu tapulaʻa o le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi. Wuhan Senbo Resort Mamanu Totonu o le Faletalimalo e faaalia ai se tulaga maoaʻe o le lelei ma e leai se mea e fesiligia, e faia ai e le lalolagi se nofoaga e sili atu ona lelei i ona uiga aogā ma taua. Wuhan Senbo Resort Mamanu Totonu o le Faletalimalo o se galuega na manumalo i le A' Design Award Platinamu e fafagu ai manaʻoga, faaosofia, faaoloa ai le fiafia, ma tupu ai le fiafia tele.
Press Kit
- 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.
