Hotel for Yao Xiaobing Design Studio

Stepping out of the elevator room, a peak shape made of plasterboard with black artistic paint finishes protruding from the top surface, forming the peaks of the rolling hills. The ground curve of the rug is indicative of the element of water. The reception desk made of polymer materials is an extension of the ground curve in the three-dimensional space. The doorplate of each room looks like water stains on the wall. At the other end of the public area, there is a giant stainless-steel shaped water drop, which is about to drip on the ground, and it is especially shimmering under the light.

Unique Properties

In this case, designers mainly want to reflect a peak shape made of plasterboard with black artistic paint finishes protruding from the top surface, forming the peaks of the rolling hills. Now many designs focus on the materials of the wall, floor and rooftop, but the designers want to elaborate feelings from a spatial perspective. They hope to be able to portray the landscape of Chongqing into the hotel, and giving travelers an artistic conception of one rainy autumn night.

Production Technology

In the elevator lobby, reception hall and hotel corridor of the Ufia Hotel, the materials designers have used are floor carpet, dark gray artistic coating, black high-gloss latex paint, rust-like artistic coating, mirror stainless steel, white latex paint and black rubber.

Design Challenge

This project has a lot of curved surfaces and it is difficult to put out the line. For the ceiling of the elevator hall, the drawings use three points and one line respectively according to the ceiling levels of different heights, that is, mark the starting point, end point and quadrant point, and the elevation of each point. After receiving the renderings, the workers did not know how to carry out the construction process. So the designers rushed to the scene immediately to guide the workers.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2019 in Chongqing and finished in September 2019 in Chongqing.

Operation Flow

For this project, in order to realize the design as soon as possible, when the project team is at the construction site, many surface layers and curves are staked out according to the model made by the model group in the computer. To ensure the degree of visual rendition from the rendering to the real-scene map can basically reach 95% and above.

Research

The decoration combines Chongqing's landscape elements, and each room has a different theme. In addition to being an excellent place to stay for tourists, the hotel's characteristic decoration itself has made it become a tourist destination, especially famous among young people. In addition to convenient transportation, close to the major attractions, and easy for exploration, the hotel's public areas and guest room design are worth taking pictures of those who come here.

Inspiration

Chongqing faces the water on three sides and leans against the mountain on the other, cascading buildings and circling roads create the unique night view to the mountain city. Therefore, designers use water and water drop as creative elements of sudden inspiration in the whole hotel, combining with Chongqing symbols.
