The Design

About Luxeh Hotellinredning

Luxeh är en hotellinredning belägen i sjöområdet West Lake i Hangzhou, Kina. Designen bevarar den ursprungliga arkitekturen och byggnadens fasad, i enlighet med kraven för den skyddade platsen. Inomhusmiljön och utomhusmiljön behandlas som två separata system, vilket gör det möjligt att placera moderna resort- och kommersiella funktioner inuti en byggnad med historisk stil. Förfallna trädelar på fasaden har behandlats med en bränningsmetod som använts sedan Song-dynastin, vilken förkolnar ytan och samtidigt bevarar materialets integritet.

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.
