概 述 WELLNESS HOTEL AND VILLA RESORT, GUANDONG, CHINA

Our concept, ‘Discovery’, is designed to inspire the visitors of the Ancient Forest of the Guandong Xiangtoushan National Nature Reserve to engage with nature. The design of interweaving walkways invites visitors to explore every layer of the forest and to discover the forest from a new perspective.

The resort expresses itself within every layer of the forest: The Undergrowth, The Understorey, The Canopy and The Emergent Layer. The foundations consist of driven timber piles that allow the buildings to float above the forest floor, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystems. The design employs sustainable building materials with minimal carbon footprint, providing durability and allowing the buildings to coexist in harmony with nature.
