Hotel With Young Spirit Design, La Vida Interior Design Co.

بواسطة -



the wheat youth arts hotel is located in the binjiang district — hangzhou — of china, and within the ‘avenue of stars trade’ area. designed studio x+ living, the project caters for young spirits and reflects the striking contemporary lifestyle of the city





the entry is not eye-catching — given how it is located inside a shopping mall. upon approaching, two simple words ‘mai jian (wheat)’ could be seen on the small, simple white door of the hotel. x+living creates a small lobby at the entrance; guests need to go through it to reach the hall. at the end of the lobby, instead of using decorations, a vertical display of all guest room supplies is installed; items are painted white and sealed with glass to form a showcase. on the exterior, one can read the word “hallo” in orange-yellow. this peculiar display makes people feel like that all items in the guest room have gathered  to welcome future guests




the designer uses music, painting and reading — which are cherished by people in daily life–  to add an intimate touch to the hotel atmosphere. a piano can be found in the corridor of every floor, allowing guests to amuse themselves and share the charm of music –making it a tool for silent communication between strangers. she also uses chinese checkers to describe people by decorating a map of the world on one of the entrance walls –which carries a message that the hotel welcomes friends from all over the world. this approach is also employed to represent the service personnel of the hotel, thus chinese checkers are designed like stools — sitting on them makes guests feel like they are being served



entering the the lobby, the space looks like a study and a living room
