The project is located nearby the “The Skyline Coast”, a popular tourist attraction in Sanya, Hainan, enjoying vast and open seascape and surrounded by the lovely sound of crashing waves, which can relieve people’s spirits in the immersive blue natural ambience. 

The designer offers two interpretations for the façade structure of this project from different aspects - from the exteriors, it looks like the ocean waves rising and falling alone the shore; from the interiors, each peak of the ocean wave encloses an independent frame, presenting vivid pictures of the infinite blue ocean. The designer builds the hotel lounge, unlike the traditional ones, into an area featuring reception, seating, photography and high tea. The height differences in the shallow water area further polish the artistic vibe - inspired by the winding coastline, the designer crafts the boundary of this area into a multifunctional platform, presenting a rich layered visual effect with the pool and the ocean. 

The designer excels at supporting spatial vibe with pure white tone to present a strong and specific contrast with the sky, seascape and sunset, which ensures a photographic background for all scenes and settings. “We work to craft the space into a timely and sophisticated art piece with long lifespan of usage by adopting this classic color.” Says the designer on the concept. In functionality, B1 floor exists as a complex of bar and infinity pool, which opens in different periods respectively or serve as a right place for pool parties thanks to the free layout with less partitions. 

The swimming pool visually integrates with the boundless ocean and the infinite blue sky, presenting people a natural experience of swimming freely in the vast ocean. With broad view on the roof deck of overlooking the misty green hills from afar and enjoy the vast and boundless sea in a near sight, the designer has developed the landscape to the most by dividing the space into many aesthetic settings including viewing, seating, hot spring bathing, photography areas, immersing people in a Mykonos vibe. 

The designer borrowed light to frame the scene to explained the aesthetic texture and the relationship between light and shade with ease. If window brings waves and sunset to the space, the skylight directly above the bed brings sparkling starlight and further enhance the natural vibe. Art comes from life and goes beyond life. Designer excels at exploring and expressing the abundance of minimalist art, and an arc is a scene show window in this project. 

All furniture and bedding in the space feature pure white color, make the texture of the material have a dialogue between delicacy and rough. When the light and shadow penetrating the door, the structural relationship between points, lines and surfaces uniquely becomes lively and fun.
