About Alila Wuzhen Hoteli

Alila Wuzhen ni hoteli iliyochochewa na miji ya majini iliyoko kusini mwa Mto Yangtze. Mpango wa jumla unachukua vijiji vya jadi vya eneo hilo kama kielelezo chake, na kuhifadhi maumbo yao ya nafasi, vipengele vya msingi, vipimo vya majengo na uhusiano wa rangi. Vipengele vya mapambo ya moja kwa moja vimeepukwa, na badala yake vimetumika vifaa bora, miundo rahisi na rangi tulivu za kisasa. Nyuso pana za vioo, milango mikubwa na paa zinazoning'inia kwa kina huunda fremu endelevu na yenye mpangilio. Mitaa, vichochoro na viwanja vya ndani vimepewa kazi mpya. Hoteli hii inachukua eneo la mita za mraba 25000.

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

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.
