Entry Description

Located in Hangzhou's historic Yuhang District, this project exemplifies the harmonious integration of cultural heritage, modern functionality, and nature. Addressing the area's scarcity of public green spaces and limited land resources, the design creates an enclosed central garden by placing the retail podium east and hotel towers west.

Inspired by the Liangzhu jade culture, the twin hotel towers echo the proportions of ancient jade "Cong," with rounded corners providing panoramic views and refined texture. The retail podium features feather-like façade inspired by jade birds and bi-disks.
