Qionghai Lake 17° General Hall Hotel

Hall of Headquarters of the general-in-chief, Exhibition center of intangible cultural heritage, Hotel of general-in-chief.

The original site was the former residence of Liu Xiangzhi, an official in the Qing Dynasty. It’s wooden and adopts column and tie construction, featured in tranquility and ancient charm. After a hundred years, it tells the history of the past in the halo and precipitation of time.

The lighting design strives to create a subtle and restrained, yet prominent light environment. The lighting method of brightening the cavity in the ancient house highlights the unique cavity decoration design in the building structure. The color temperature is colored by warm white light, which not only restores the color texture of the building itself, but also strengthens the modeling arc of the gable part of traditional Chinese architecture.

At night, you can dream of the past and present, feeling the unique Chinese architectural charm of the cornices and white walls and deva.

The lighting of the extension area continues the design of the overall light environment, focusing on the facade lighting. The combination of various lighting methods such as dots, lines and planes will show the architectural form vividly.

The promenade part is different from the traditional one, and the linear lighting of the facade is mostly used to provide functional lighting for the moving lines, so that the traditional and elegant architecture also contains a bright modern temperament.

Lying late at night I heard the storm, I dreamed of the armored horse and the ice-cold river.

It was late at night, and there was gurgling rain outside the window. Lying on the bed, I heard wind and rain outside the window and began dreaming.

In my dreams, I was the general-in-chief in the armor, striding across the frozen river to fight in the battlefield.

When I woke up again, the light is soft and warm, I could not help but sigh the universe, and cherish the plain warmth.

The extraordinariness is showed in the ordinary thing, and ancient rhyme and modernity are combined perfectly. Headquarters of the general-in-chief allows you to have a dreamlike experience.
