The hotel lies deep in the beautiful mountains and waters in northern Guizhou. Without destroying the original appearance, the old wooden houses and the folk houses in northern Guizhou have been transformed into hotel rooms that conform to the contemporary life quality. The newly built restaurant uses a more low-key architectural vocabulary, with variable cross-section steel structure and safety glass cavity door and window system to form a material comparison with the featured external walls and green roof tiles of the folk houses in northern Guizhou. The space dialogue and the sense of continuity formed by the old and new buildings are the basic rules to maintain the natural symbiosis between the foreign (hotel) and the native (countryside).
In the use of materials, the outdoor retained the simple and heavy folk house style in northern Guizhou which is consistent with the local landscape. The old wood doors and windows were removed and replaced with modern bridge-cut aluminum landing doors and windows. The indoor uses recycled old wood which are polished and painted. Texture coating is used for the wall surfaces and ancient bricks are paved on the ground. These modern materials form a contrast with the original materials, adding some modernity to the old buildings while maintaining a similar sense of history and gravity.
Main material: lilac wood. Russian ash. Gray brick. Plain cement. Gray iron plate.
