Design Solution
The Xianhai Boutique Resort creates a contemporary twist on the historical architecture of the area to bring to life a fresh and luxurious resort. In utilizing unique materials such a rammed-earth walls, the design drew from ancient Han culture through building up lantern-like elements, lighting the way for guests and visitors to enjoy the overwhelming warmth and hospitality of the resort. Landscape takes center stage, lushly framing the pathways and creating an environment surrounded by nature. Lovely gardens, destination landscape features and lookout points, and hidden secluded areas for meditation call guests to become at one with the outdoors. Bringing the architecture into the interior spaces, the Xianhai Boutique Resort takes advantage of the rammed earth walls and floor to ceiling windows as feature details and continues the natural palette with a soft touch into each of the interior spaces creating a bespoke resort experience for every guest.
