The site sits peacefully in a southern China village, encircled by 300 invaluable ancient trees shipped from southeast Asia countries, this is their preserve land. Our proposal insists the means of least interruption of this peaceful joy of the ancient spirits. Therefore, we introduced wooden material and modern earthscape intervention, especially the zigzag hotel and individual guest rooms upon threes, to deal maximum outcome.

Positioned upstream, deep in the forest of ancient trees, we used a series of landscape installations to form the concept of “Ring of Clouds”. The “Ring of the Clouds” acts as the heart of the ancient tree village, becoming an anchor for the surrounding mountains, the villages on the mountain also radiate outwards from this focal point.

It is the embodiment of the site.
