Project Overview
Initially a commercial building now transformed into a teahouse-like hotel located in a crowded area, where the environment is noisy and lacking of green elements. The concept is to bring in different elements such as concrete, wood and matte - with less reflection so that the rooms would have a balanced and comfortable atmosphere.

Project Brief
This hotel is themed by nature and to capture this essence. We have used planter boxes around the hotel and inside the hotel rooms, to bring in nature from the outside into the interior to create a warm and cosy ambience. We have used wooden colours combined with shades of grey and white for a neutral atmosphere.
We have also make use of different materials such as concrete, wood and matte - with less reflection so that the rooms would have a balanced and comfortable atmosphere. Tea-house style is integrated with simple modern style in the hotel rooms.
Project Innovation/Need
The building is initially a commercial building, surrounded by factories and industrial buildings. Instead of design an industrial-style hotel, we have transformed it into a teahouse-like hotel. It would be a brand new experience for the guests staying in the hotel.
Design Challenge
As the hotel is saturated in city area surrounded by tall buildings, the design challenge is to provide a comfortable environment to tourists and customers. In addition to placing planter boxes, we have brought in different elements with less reflection so that the rooms would have a balanced and comfortable atmosphere. We have also used wooden colours combined with shades of grey and white for a harmonious atmosphere. When the guests come back after traveling or shopping, they can take rest and enjoy the neutral atmosphere in the hotel rooms.
Sustainability
We have used planter boxes around the hotel - decorations on the wall, room numbers and inside the hotel rooms, to bring in natural and green elements from the outside into the interior.
