Hotel seamlessly fuses city life and nature
The architectural approach adopted at this six-room Shanxi Province retreat emphasises harmony with nature and thoughtful adaptation to its surroundings
Designed by Studio A+
Situated in Fengxi New City, Shanxi Province, China, the Mu Feng Yue Hot Spring Hotel is a serene retreat, nestled in a natural wilderness, yet mere moments from the urban bustle.
This hotel represents a seamless fusion of city life and nature, providing guests with a peaceful and refined sanctuary.
The architectural approach adopted here emphasises harmony with nature and thoughtful adaptation to the surroundings, resulting in a design that boasts a rustic façade paired with a rich interior.
This establishment isn't merely a structure; it's an environment crafted through strategic placement of walls that redefine and choreograph the space. These walls fold and unfold the spatial experience, integrating the "environment" with its larger context.
A sunken courtyard gives the impression of the structure emerging organically from the land.
The choice of materials such as rich earth-toned, timber-textured bare concrete complements the natural hues of the surroundings.
Key features include the ethereal "rice paper lantern" suspended tearooms, reflective pools, sloping water surfaces, and Zen-inspired orange glass pavilion set over water, all contributing to the hotel's enigmatic allure.
This 3440m² hotel provides six luxurious guest rooms, each with its own indoor pool, while eight outdoor pools with dedicated showers and lounges are also available to visitors.
