Dongguan, China
In the lightweight, immaterial motifs of the partitions, it suggests transparencies of the windows and grilles of traditional Lingnan architecture. The wall in the Chinese restaurant is red for energy and good luck, echoing the sandstone in the Lingnan Gardens, complemented by the green outdoor landscape. The legendary lantern on the peak of Mount Huangqi inspired the furnishing of the dining room, where the golden light from the light fixtures makes for a pleasing banquet atmosphere. There are a total of 285 rooms, generally spacious and beautifully appointed: full surfaces and transparencies light and separate the rooms, while wood and marble are paired in an impressive harmony of colors. The walls behind the headboards rest incorporate the natural weaves made with artisan crafting of the cyperus malaccensis, a long thin sedge grass that usually grows in Vietnam and then is processed in Dongguan and has been significant to the development of the local culture and manufacturing industry. 54 | IFDM
