GUANGZHOU, CHINA中国 广州 HOTEL酒店 35,000 M², 320 ROOMS35,000 平方米,320间客房 INTERIOR DESIGN室内设计 2016 - 2019

The golden age of Guangzhou, early 20th century, is represented by the rich historical culture of the elegant Xiguan Lady (West Gate) and influential Dongshan Gentleman (East Hill). Local traditions evolve with the influx of western cultures, mainly by trading. Textile and fashion related businesses such as fabric mills, dye house and tailoring became one of the main trades in Guangzhou.

The interior design of this hotel narrates from 2 different perspectives, the lifestyle connoisseur and the designer. This is demonstrated by the 2 guestroom designs, one being structured and the other being exquisite. Curated artworks and accessories speak about the owner’s core business: fashion.

The experience of the hotel begins with the design main lobby, which is inspired by the sea route trade into Guangzhou harbor. The lobby lounge terraces upwards into cigar bar where guests see and to be seen. Various types of spaces are created throughout the hotel for fashion runway shows.

Weaving looms, strings and pins express the fundamental element of fashion: Fabric. By magnifying the layering and crisscrossing of thread to create fabric, the design of the Chinese restaurant elevates the concept of fabric into art.

 

The swimming pool and gym of the hotel takes on the character of an industrial chic dye house. Copper pipes and shafts create the sweatshop experience.

高贵优雅的西关小姐,举足轻重的东山少爷,作为广州的深厚历史文化的一部分,体现着20世纪初广州市的黄金时代。彼时,当地传统随着主要通过贸易而不断涌入的西方文化进化,与纺织及时装相关的生意,例如面料厂、染料厂和裁缝店都成为了广州的主要行业之一。

这家酒店的室内设计叙述着两种不同的观点:一为生活品味鉴赏家,二为设计家;两者分别体现于两种客房设计概念上,一种是结构化,另一种则是精致化。摆设的高级艺术品和配件,透露了酒店老板的主要业务——时装。

酒店体验从大厅设计开始,灵感源自广州港口的海上贸易路线。从大厅休息室拾级而至上层的雪茄吧,是会客或交际的理想场所。酒店内各处都设有适合时尚走秀的不同类型空间。

织布机和针线装饰摆设表达出时装的基本元素:布料。聚焦于织布线条的重叠和交叉,中餐馆的设计把布料的概念提升至艺术品。

酒店的游泳池和健身房引用着染料厂的工业化个性特征,但又不失时尚感。铜管和铜轴都体现了辛劳的工厂体验。
