The first urban condominium by "NOT A HOTEL", known as a rentable villa.
As it is in a residential area, we designed as a three-dimensional urban space accommodating diversity of lifestyle where each room has a different concept, instead of a single large structure.
The front garden, which seamlessly connected to the front park, mediates and transits smoothly from the tranquility of rooms to the lively urban environment. While the entire facility maintains a sense of unity, each eight rooms has a different concept and design.
To maintain a sense of openness while ensuring privacy, we studied the layout of each room with 3D model studies of the surrounding environment, the views from each room and the sight lines from adjacent buildings. Through repeated modifications of opening heights and landscaping, we have achieved a calm like mountain retreat within the city, while enjoying the convenience of the urban location.

Situated in the heart of China's Ningxia winemaking region, Amnor Resort stands as the first luxury wilderness retreat in the Eastern foothills of the Helan Mountain. It plays a pivotal role in the region's viticulture landscape, spearheading the vibrant wine tourism scene in Ningxia. Local inspirations are woven intricately throughout the interior design, from interpretations of coir-rope weaving to motifs inspired by ancient rock art and Chinese paper cutting (Jianzhi), celebrating the region's cultural depth. Upon arrival, guests traverse through vineyards to reach an open courtyard leading to the Wine Cellar Lobby. This grand entrance features a tall, voluminous space with dramatic sunlight coming through an oculus, designed to immerse visitors in the ambiance of wine and music culture. The focal point is the impressive Dragon Spiral Staircase, artfully designed in a motif reminiscent of a wine opener. The lobby doubles as a venue for quartet performances and movie premieres.

Saint-Tropez Manor Hotel, nestled in Qinfeng Village, Yinhu Street, Fuyang District, Hangzhou, offers a serene escape surrounded by mountains and bamboo forests. Just a 40-minute drive from the city center, it provides a secluded haven away from the city's hustle and bustle. Designed as an ideal weekend getaway, it allows guests to immerse in nature, relax, forget troubles, recharge, and enjoy tranquility.

The hotel is located at the foot of Mount Tai, known as the "The Prominent Mountain in Chinese History," where emperors and literati throughout the ages have come to pay homage and offer sacrifices. The design of the hotel is inspired by the natural beauty and cultural depth of Mount Tai. From the lobby named "Red Gate Dawn" to the lounge area called "Jade Emperor Dome," and then to the bar and restaurant known as "Rising Sun," each space is named after the natural elements of Mount Tai, creating a progressive and immersive spatial experience that allows guests to enjoy modern comfort while also feeling the magnificence and mystery of Mount Tai.

Hilton Nanjing Niushoushan is nestled in Nanjing Niushou Mountain, Jiangning District, close to the Buddhist Top Temple, Top Tower and Top Palace. It was here that Master Farong founded the far-reaching Niutou Zen School in the Tang Dynasty.The design took the concepts of "Heart, Delight and Emptiness" from the Niutou Zen School to create a holiday that heals the body and mind. The lobby features a “floating kasaya” (a patchwork robe worn by Buddhist monks) on the ceiling. In the center, moss is implanted into the interior landscape, “water ripples” are crafted on the floor, and lush plants hang from the ceiling. Zen-themed artwork is placed throughout to stimulate thought. The hotel has a specially designed vegetarian restaurant and meditation rooms. The guest room can also be a place for meditation, reading and tea tasting, giving guests an unprecedented holiday experience.

Starting from the inspiration of a nearby courtyard-style ancient architectural complex with gorgeous natural landscapes, the hotel integrates local history and culture, nature and aesthetics into the space, interpreting the oriental courtyard with natural materials to provide a place to rest the soul and create an urban micro-vacation lifestyle.

By using modern design techniques, cultural features such as sloping roof, gray tiles, log walls and bamboo weaving art are transformed into artistic elements of space, serving as distinguishing points for different functional spaces. Local and eco-friendly materials are used to highlight simplicity and return to nature, drawing on ancient methods and folk crafts to rediscover history. The design focuses on people's physical and mental health, meeting the functional and spiritual needs of different guests. By designing according to local conditions and materials, it found a symbiosis between local and international, traditional and contemporary elements.

The hotel is located in Yangzhou, near the famous Slender West Lake scenic area, rich in cultural heritage that has captivated scholars and literati since ancient times. The design envisions a playful and spirited young person, with the story of "Wearing a hundred thousand strings of coins, riding a crane down to Yangzhou for a visit." Inspired by the classic routes of Yangzhou's gardens, the hotel design integrates classic elements such as gardens, bricks, tiles, and arches, combined with the brand's unique, lively genes of being playful, relaxed, witty, and sophisticated. It interprets a new experience of Yangzhou's trendy culture in a personalized and expressive manner.

Here, we embark on an exploration of modern civilisation based on naturalism, with a focus on local, to reshape the cultural community model of the town and seek the real meaning of "Living in the mountains and by the sea." As times change and residents migrate, old houses are abandoned. What we do is, based on the restoration of existing buildings, use locally common natural building materials to maintain the unity of the project's locality, thereby creating a shared community concept that integrates living, leisure, and commerce.
