Hill Wind Hotel and Resort

Huafang Wang Hotel and Resort Architecture Monday, 6 April 2026

Hill Wind

Hill Wind is a resort hotel located in Anji County, Huzhou. The external form follows modern architectural thinking, with geometric cloud shapes drawn from the origami concept and extended into irregular volumes. A white membrane material is joined to these forms through structural changes. Inside, a narrow entrance passage creates a deep sense of space, and a continuously flowing ceiling is shaped and stitched by craftsmen. Bamboo and wood from the Anji area are used as building materials. The project covers 3500 square meters and echoes the surrounding natural landscape.

Solar Skywalks

World's metropolises - like Beijing - have a large number of footbridges traversing busy traffic arteries. They are often unattractive, downgrading the overall urban impression. Designers' idea of cladding the footbridges with aesthetic, power generating PV modules and transforming them into attractive city spots is not only sustainable but creates a sculptural diversity that becomes an eye-catcher in the cityscape. E-car or E-bike charging stations under the footbridges utilize the solar energy directly on site.

Modules of different heights and depths are combined to create many configurations and sizes. The system can stand alone or be mounted on a wall. Open shelves display small objects, while closed doors conceal them. The body, shelves, partitions and front panels are made of MDF with a matt lacquer finish.

EN Skincare

En Skincare is a cosmetics store and treatment salon set within an 18th-century building in central Paris. The name En means beauty in Japanese, and can also mean circle and connection. These three meanings inspired the design. A series of circular brass partitions divides 150 square meters into four rooms across two levels. Two bright plaster rooms occupy the ground floor, while the basement retains stone walls and vaulted ceilings. Visitors follow a winding path to each treatment area, reflecting the Japanese idea of hospitality through discovery.
