Project description

Cultural Immersion: The interior design will transport guests into the world of Chinese culture, using visual elements and traditional motifs to create an authentic experience.

Harmonious Color Schemes: Carefully selected color palettes will be employed to create a sense of balance, tranquility, and energy within the hotel's spaces. The colors will reflect the symbolic meanings associated with Chinese culture.

Traditional and Contemporary Fusion: The design will strike a balance between traditional Chinese elements and modern aesthetics, blending the timeless beauty of Chinese culture with contemporary design sensibilities.

Attention to Detail: Intricate details, such as ornate carvings, calligraphy, and symbolic patterns, will be incorporated throughout the design to add depth and visual interest to the spaces.

Functionality and Comfort: While focusing on aesthetics, the design will prioritize functionality and comfort, ensuring that the spaces are practical and well-suited for the hotel guests' needs and preferences.

Technical information

We used a variety of finishing materials in the interior of the hotel to create an authentic Chinese-style atmosphere. The floors are covered with ceramic tiles and natural stone, providing an elegant and durable look. On the walls, we applied washable paint, traditional Chinese-patterned wallpaper, decorative wooden panels, and bamboo panels to add texture and reflect Chinese culture.

The ceiling was finished with washable paint, suspended false ceilings, and decorative gypsum boards, creating a clean and well-defined appearance. The hotel furniture is made of solid wood, wood veneer, metal, and textile upholstery, offering a blend of elegance and comfort. We added decorative accents such as paintings, photographs, mirrors, artworks, and decorative plants to complement the atmosphere.

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a pleasant ambiance, so we used chandeliers, wall sconces, and ambient and accent lighting in various areas of the hotel. These elements add a special charm and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

All these materials and decorative accents are harmoniously combined to emphasize the Chinese style of the hotel, providing an authentic and enjoyable experience for our guests.
