Design Details

Unique Properties
It is an interior design case for a resort hotel in the Baianshan National Forest Park of Jiangxi Province. The designer wants to create Hakka cultural features. Based on the local unique geothermal resources, the hotel has equipped with a hot spring bath in the air and each guest room. The designer constructed a hot spring water supply system centered on temperature control, which ensures the tourist experience while effectively saving the natural hot spring resources.
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from the Hakka culture in the area where the hotel is located. The unique square enclosed building pattern is one of the representative architectural symbols in Hakka culture. The designer used local stones and ceramics to create an enclosed space in the lobby. At the same time, a large number of traditional Hakka woodcut artworks are used in the hotel, together with the local specialty water grainstone, forming a unique space temperament.
Research
The regional characteristics of tourist hotels The cultural characteristics of tourist hotels The construction of water supply system for high-floor hot spring
Challenge
The hot spring bath in the air is the hotel's unique item. To ensure the tourist experience while saving the natural hot spring resources, the designer set the inner wall of the bath at an angle of 70 degrees with the water level so that the total volume of the pool water is deducted. The exterior walls of the bath are insulated by asbestos layers and acrylics to decrease the cooling rate of the water. At the same time, he uses the intermittent way of adding water to form an effective water flow control system, which can save 40% of the hot spring resources compared with a similar bath.
Realization and Technology
The hotel is a single-family building with a construction area of 16,000 square meters and a height of 19 floors. The functional layout of the hotel is carried out in a vertical direction. The functional design focuses on the integrity of the hotel's supporting facilities and the comfort of the environment: Floor 1: Front Hall, Service Desk, Lobby Bar, Breakfast Restaurant Floor 2 to 4: Hotel Catering Area, Main Banuet Hall, Multi-funtion Hall, Conference Room Floor 5 to 19: Guest Rooms, Deluxe Suites
Operation and Interaction
The designer constructed a unique lighting system throughout the space. The cubic water-featured chandelier in the center of the lobby, the streamlined chandeliers in the corridor, and the artistic lamps in different scenes become the visual focus of the hotel and fill the space with a three-dimensional feeling.
