About Hexi Corridor 酒店室内设计

河西走廊是一座位于敦煌的酒店室内设计项目，占地10000平方米。门头造型将取自飞天壁画的飘带元素与当地建筑常见的穹顶形式相结合。入口前的浅水池倒映着建筑本身。一条形如洞窟、以当地卵石饰面的狭长通道通向高达10米的大堂，其顶部被处理成蓝天意象。墙面则将灰色水泥砖与木格栅相结合。当地的文化与历史为整体设计提供了灵感与指引。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: According to the regional characteristics, the designer combines the local culture, national culture and historical context in the process of conception. Under the dominant atmosphere of modernism, the designer uses the language of design to create dialogue with space, and then interprets the visual, tactile and spiritual resonance, reproducing the Dunhuang area humanistic landscape pattern of "The head swallows the sea and the tail joins the desert".
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 10000 square meters. Entering the hotel lobby through the passage, the scene immediately becomes bright and open. In this 10-meter-high large space, in order to avoid emptiness brought by the depth, the designer designed the ceiling into a blue sky, where a drop of water from falls into a bowl made of Qilian Mountains dark jade on the ground, showing the spirit of Zen penetration.

Production Technology: Seen from the entrance, the narrow and long passage mysteriously carries a deep sense of space aesthetics. Combining the shape of the cave with the pebbles peculiar to the local area, it creates a rough and steady visual effect. The quiet interior and the noisy exterior form a pulling feeling in space, which attracts the past guests.
Design Challenge: Moving forward slowly, the background of the service desk is the flying Apsaras woodcarving work of the sculpture master, which conveys the historical and cultural deposits through the fine lines, lifelike forms and exquisite texture. The steel wire mesh barrier arranged vertically in front of the woodcarving makes the static flying Apsaras show the dynamic aesthetic feeling along with the guests' movement.
Research: Zhuang Zhou said, "If there is no shelter in the house, the sunshine can illuminate the whole space, and auspicious well-being will come." Such a pure and undemanding state is exactly the portrayal of the ideal mood of the guests. From a modern perspective, combining soft tones and natural texture, the design transforms the room furniture into a carrier of functionality and artistry, and endows the space with different personalities, while leaving a lasting aftertaste.
Inspiration: The door header adopts the thinking mode of modern architecture. The designer extracts the image of ribbon from the flying Apsaras frescoes and extends the regular form. With the common dome elements in local architecture, the two are integrated through structural changes, which bring out the best in each other. The sparkling water in front of the door is like a natural polished mirror, reflecting the appearance of the hotel, which is both virtual and real, rigid and soft.
Project Duration: The project started in June, 2017 in Dunhuang and finished in October 2018 in Dunhuang.
Operation Flow: The wall is the visual impact brought by the contrast of grey cement brick blocks and wooden grille elements, which embellishes the light of Crescent Lake's form, creating different ways of light entry, filling the simple space with rich rhythm, leaving infinite reverie without unnecessary decoration.
