About The Lakeshore Hualien Tranquil 酒店

悦海花莲静谧酒店坐落于台湾花莲市。设计灵感取自当地山峦与太平洋,并汲取马白水画作《太鲁阁之美》的意境。山脊线转化为一层梁柱的五边形几何形态,三角形则出现于走廊与天花板之上。立面上起伏的线条隐喻海浪律动。木格栅与高透光玻璃引入自然光线与户外景致。上层楼面依次退缩,形成露台空间,既改善通风,又减少对邻近建筑的遮挡。

Unique Properties: Master Ma Paisui painting The Beauty of Taroko inspires the design team on designing the exterior part of the building with the strange and magnificent mountains and rocks and the undulating sea of greenery in the lower part of the building, which is transformed into 3D pentagonal geometry and the triangles on the corridor and the ceiling. Furthermore, the undulating sea waves on the exterior walls of the building, bring the natural appearance of Hualien to the visitors provides a comfortable and convenient resting place.
Dimensions & Packaging: The design team has set up different levels of building volume and retreating staggered configuration so that each room in every position is airy and well ventilated. The upper floor is partially retracted to create a hierarchical volume and give an interesting shape of the skyline, create a sky terrace and maximize daylighting. At the same time, it solves the problem of blocking the neighboring buildings so that the purpose of urban planning for sharing the beauty of the environment is achieved.

Production Technology: The exterior of the first floor is designed with the concept of the undulating ridge of the mountains. The beams and columns are shaped to form a pentagonal geometry, and a wooden grille is used on the upper part to bring a transparency and penetration feeling. Besides the triangular shape, the building facade is also designed with the natural impression of the sea's waves, and the light-weight transparent glass brings in the outdoor scenery, enabling the building to penetrate and introduce the outdoor natural environment.
Design Challenge: According to the statistics, more than 90% of people die during earthquakes because of building collapse. By this tragedy, once again awakening people's awareness of earthquake crisis prevention. Thus, in order to meet the goals of seismic design regulations and to protect the safety of the tourists, the geological characteristics and seismic zone coefficients of the site were taken into the consideration since the beginning of the construction planning of the Lakeshore Hotel Hualien.
Research: The hotel not only symbolizes the local cultural spirit but also provides a comfortable place for visitors from far away to relax. The Lakeshore Hotel Hualien incorporates the unique natural scenery of Hualien, such as clouds, mountains, forest, and sea, into the exterior of the building. Adopts master Ma Paisui's painting The Beauty of Taroko to transform mountains, forest waves, and waves into pentagonal and triangular geometries, which are presented on the corridor and ceiling of the first floor, and the exterior of the building also uses undulating lines to outline the image of waves.
Inspiration: The Lakeshore Hotel Hualien is located on the vast coastline of the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the luxuriant mountains that stretch for miles. Inspired by the mountains and the sea, the architect takes the edges and corners of the mountains and the waves of the sea as images and combines them with the painting The Beauty of Taroko by master Ma Paisui to visualize the majestic atmosphere of Taroko, which is surrounded by fog and mist.
Project Duration: The project was completed in March 2021 in Hualien City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The Lakeshore Hotel Hualien not only architecturally embraces the magnificent natural scenery of clouds, mountains, forests, and the sea of Eastern Taiwan, but is also located on the side of the Taiwan Provincial Highway 9 which provides direct access to the international airport, train stations, international seaports and other important scenic spots in Hualien. The hotel also looks out over the clear blue ocean to the east and the verdant mountains to the west, providing a comfortable travel experience for visitors with an open.
