Deluxe Five Star Hotel

Thursday, 23 March 2023

Pullman Yuxi Yunnan

The project goal was to create a hotel in harmony with nature. The inspiration comes from the scenery of Yuxi, such as raindrops, cooking smoke, and clouds in the mountains. Using water as a medium to depict the colors of the panorama of Yuxi also adds a symbolic memory point to the hotel. The concept of artistic conception and imagery in Chinese painting is applied to the space, which is simple and elegant, reflecting the rich oriental beauty. While admiring the beautiful scenery, it also enables those gathered here to rediscover and define the relationship between human and nature.

A mix of segregation and connectivity. Keeping the openness of the floor intact, all feature elements are strategically planed to create series of discussion pockets. The store is designed on fractal behavior that explores the concept for sequencing the space that is both immersive and sculptural. The space promotes a very strong sense of design while leaving a stage for the products that are being displayed.

Ohv

The project is a three bedroom condo showflat. It is intended to showcase a dwelling for a family of four: a pair of young, working professionals and their two preschool children. Conceived during the time of Covid-19 when people started to stay at home for longer periods of time, the apartment was designed to help foster closer ties within the family while giving each person the space they need to work, play and grow as an individual. The unit was reconfigured from its original layout to include more open spaces for shared use to mitigate "cabin fever" from being home for prolonged periods.

Takeen

The design of Takeen is inspired by its natural bamboo surroundings. This design integrates plant morphology, particularly bamboo, with its functional requirements to create a sustainable, organic enclave for respite from the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. The biomimetic design emerged from the mathematical interpretation of leaf and branching patterns found in plants. As the entrance, bar, and kitchen walls slowly bifurcate and converge, light cascades down its sinuous form, producing an experience of bamboos intrinsic nature that is unique to Takeen.
