About Zenstay Функсияи асосӣ: Меҳмонхонаи бутик

Zenstay як меҳмонхонаи бутик дар ҷазираи Дунҷи дар Чжоушани Чин мебошад. Лоиҳа бозсозии як хонаи сангини аслӣ дар домани теппа аст. Шаклҳои маскани маҳаллӣ ва бофтаҳои табиӣ роҳнамои тарроҳӣ шуданд. Сохтори аслии сангу чӯб нигоҳ дошта шудааст ва блокҳои сафеди нав фазоҳои ҷамъиятии ҷудошударо ба ҳам мепайвандад. Атриум ва зинапоя қисматҳои кӯҳна ва навро мепайванданд. Маводҳо иборатанд аз бетон, санги маҳаллии тарошидашуда, чӯби кӯҳнаи лиственница, сафолҳои хокистарии истифодашуда ва андова. Меҳмонхона дорои нӯҳ ҳуҷраи меҳмонӣ бо манзараи баҳр, тарабхона, бар, ҳуҷраи конфронс ва майдончаи манзаранигарӣ мебошад.

Design Challenge
In the process, there were series of difficulties overcame by folk wisdom and design strategy on the islands far away from the mainland without large construction machinery and vehicles. The concrete was poured by terrain and gravity, after transported to the top of the hillside by human and animal power. Trying to keep the traditional houses details and unique living experience, we combined modern materials with local craft as well. For example, the original style of the ashlar wall was put back to normal by soil stabilizer and loess. We had to face bad weather and goods shortage where could be more difficult than on the mainland.
Research
Thanks to the project, we explored the traditional stone house in island to construct skills as an appropriate technology (low tech), regional cultural of reference, its interventional reconstruction of the possibility and its sustainable idea of the necessity and reflection. By the protection of the original fabric and the innovation of the new format, we turned the old stone house of the rural island into a rebirth.
Inspiration
Zenstay Boutique Hotel is the ideal home for a post-80s couple on Dongji Island, the eastern end of mainland China, a original stone house on a hillside. Watching tides rise and fall, weathered by time and elements, stone houses create the rustic island culture and the beauty of years. The "local dwelling" and "natural texture" were the entry points for the design.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2017 in Dongji Island, Zhoushan and finished in February 2019.
Operation Flow
In fact, most border islands have two sides of extremes — the cultural enclaves locked in the past and the hot spots for literary youth. Natural, traditional or fashion, postmodern would be conflicting and symbiotic. The design of Zenstay Boutique Hotel has both traditional and novel aspects as well, trying to cater the functional and scene requirements from its two aspects with a sincere and simple attitude.
