"Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old.
The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? ”
▼ Aerial view of the hotel
Alila Hotel Wuzhen is located in a wetland. It is said to be a wetland, but it was also a former farmland that was abandoned and later occupied by waterfowl. Before the development, it was said that thousands of egrets inhabited the area. Based on this background, a part of the wetland was reserved for the hotel, and while the water birds were not exterminated, the water birds were not exterminated.
▼ Use the main waterways to visually divide the guest rooms
The construction of these 123 rooms on the wetland is a huge amount of work. The pile foundation is very deep, and the foundation floor is also raised by more than 4 meters. Still, every time I go to the scene, there is a strong damp smell that grows from under the soles of my feet, which makes people shudder. Because of the abundance of water, the hotel had to consider the relationship between the waterways in the water town and the surrounding wetlands, not only visually using the main waterways to divide the guest room groups, but also how the water purification system of the waterscape in the hotel could be combined with the surrounding water bodies to meet the needs of flood discharge in the rainy season......
▼ The hotel forms a reflection on the surface of the water
In the early stage of the design, a lot of effort was put into balancing these practical problems: modern architecture and landscape design all want the water surface to be flush from indoor to outdoor and even in the canal, but all artificially designed flood channels cannot ensure the safety of today's sudden flood events; It is naturally good to make an ecological filtration system in the outer wetlands and then recycle it with the landscape water in the hotel, but in reality, there are practical problems such as insufficient water volume in the dry season and high water standards in the hotel landscape...... The result of the balance will have some visual flaws, but it is the most comfortable solution to use in the existing conditions.
▼Hard paved courtyard
Each waterway is enhanced with tall and skinny metasequoia for visual guidance. Metasequoia with white houses and black tiles is not only in line with the intention of Jiangnan water town, but also a representative of wetland landscape. Its flaw is the fall of leaves in winter. This was difficult for the management of Alila, who was born in Southeast Asia, to adapt to the fact that they wanted more rich greenery and softened the simple and tough architectural lines. While appropriately adding some evergreen trees (camphor and pomelo), we conveyed to the wine management the botanical characteristics of the area: the evergreen tree species in the Jiangnan area are limited, and the tree shape with small branches and leaves, light posture, and conforming to the appearance of the building is even more limited. The image of a hotel that conforms to the characteristics of the region (even if it is a brand chain hotel) has finally been recognized by everyone. The above is, and not all, is a real problem. In the past three years, it is difficult to describe the various details.
▼Entrance to the Chinese restaurant
In the pure landscape part of this project, we have made such an attempt: to express abstract concepts with figurative design, association-back to reality-re-association-back to reality. It's fun, imaginative and challenging.
▼Breakfast room garden
This passage once reminded me of the phrase: "January gathers. February Water Valley. March camel clouds. April cracks. May gown. June Liancan. July blue pulp. August Poetry Zen. September floating. October Female Ze. Returned in November. December Blizzard. After many investigations, it seems to describe the year of life in the water town, or the life of a woman in the south of the Yangtze River. After repeatedly studying the direction, line of sight, light and shadow conditions of each courtyard space, five of the twelve seasonal features became the intention of public landscape, and the other seven were the landscape of guest room courtyard groups.

January Air Gathering: The Old Rain Meets Three Lives
At the beginning of the hotel, pass by a well. Above the well is the patio.

The side passes through another side of the open patio. When the early cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they resemble clouds with rain.

April is the time to rip cloth and get ready to buy new clothes. In the cracked stone crevices under the camphor tree is the Chiba orchid.

▼Metasequoia with white room adds a touch of early summer coolness

September Float: Floaters come and go
The floating chacha is a boat in the Milky Way.
▼Imagine boating on the water
In October, Nuze, Feng Ze looked at the purple clouds from afar
Originally, it was thought that neem would be used as a purple cloud, but it was replaced by Guohuai...... Purple clouds turn to white clouds.
▼ Leaves make clouds
In November, return with clothes, and return with clothes when the moon sets and the wind rises
Return at night. Winter back. Far travelers are on their way home.
▼The sunlight brings warmth to the scenery of the elegant Gangnam Hotel
十二月风雪客,日暮白屋风雪客
The sun is often white in winter. Accompany in the leaden gray heaven.
▼The view of the guest room group
The project started in May 2015. During this period, the guest room part was sampled three times; The amount of plants is small, and the requirements are refined, so they have been experimenting and adjusting in different positions; Last winter, Wuzhen snowed heavily, and some shrubs that could have spent the winter in this area were sacrificed...... Revision, revision, and subsidy supplements are in response to a practitioner's phrase "grinding out the light and cultivating into enlightenment".
Finally, to quote the sixteenth-century Italy critic Gastelvetro: "To appreciate art is to appreciate the overcoming of difficulties". This project does not dare to call itself art, but appreciating it, you can appreciate the overcoming of various hardships.
