Project Title: "柏乐朗酒店 PARALLOGE HOTEL"
Country of Project: China
Designer: Haojian Ye from Guangzhou Uniarch Decoration Design Co., Ltd

This hotel is located in Dayan, an old town of Lijiang, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The design was to represent the Naxi culture and preserve its heritage. The resort was rebuilt from the home of the Qing Dynasty`s literati, Wang Zhuqi. It maintained the original Naxi architectural features.

Using the heights of the location, our team hoped to offer guests a great view of the ancient town. While enjoying a cozy and comfortable stay given by the modern furniture and amenities., the guests living here may experience the uniqueness of local culture through the appreciation of local craftsmen`s artworks.

"We and the environment where architecture was, created and the time and culture it can carry is far longer than life. During the change of new and old, the structural parts were recollected from the old building and used in the new building. We invited local carpenters, masons, coppersmiths, and bricklayers to join in the construction of the Paralloge Hotel and we attempted to mix traditional handicrafts with contemporary trends, creating local spaces and artworks that belonged to the current society. It allows guests to experience the local culture more macroscopically and gain a deeper understanding of its uniqueness and potential."

APSDA AWARDS 2023 - Project of the Month (March)

Category: Food & Beverage (Gold Winner)
Project Title: "Birch Forest"
Country of Project: China
Designer: Kris Lin from Kris Lin International Design

The project is located in Xi`an, close to Jinghe Wetland Park in the south. The large birch forest gives the project unique landscape resources. This mixed multi-function space is divided into two floors, the first floor is a cafe, and the second floor is a restaurant and art gallery space. We wanted to create a mood, a restaurant in the forest. It allows people to take a break from their daily lives and enter a relaxed environment.

The whole design takes " Dear drink at trackless stream" in the poem "A Trip to Lushan Mountain" by Mei Yaochen as the design conception, it is a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. Integrated forest, deer, and water those three elements into the design.

The biggest challenge of this project is the construction of a continuous curved surface of the ceiling grid. Through the three-dimensional design in the early stage, we selected the aluminum plate for machine cutting in the factory, and finally, went to the construction site for installation and splicing. From the perspective of environmental protection, there are no abandoned building materials and construction wastes at the construction site.
