Residence Guan Private Hotel Space

Residence Guan Private Hotel Space

Residence Guan Private hotel space is an innovative architectural and interior design project located in Sanya Haitang Bay, China, that exemplifies a harmonious blend of luxury hospitality and artistic expression. This Silver A' Design Award-winning project, designed by Rui Zhao and team in 2016, encompasses 7,300 square meters of thoughtfully curated space, featuring 12 distinctive rooms alongside dining, public, and entertainment areas. The design philosophy centers on creating an immersive environment where every corner tells a story through carefully placed sculptures, paintings, installations, and natural elements such as straw houses and streams, all unified by a cohesive architectural language. The project's most notable architectural feature is its extensive platform design, which serves multiple functions: providing essential sun protection in the tropical climate, creating a seamless integration with the natural surroundings, and offering versatile spaces for social gatherings such as barbecues, cocktail parties, and weddings. The design team addressed significant environmental challenges posed by the coastal location, including intense sun exposure, strong sea breezes, and high salt content, through the strategic selection of durable materials such as Shandong white rust stone, logs, and specialized texture paint. The interior spaces maximize height through exposed structural elements, creating a rhythmic visual flow that extends throughout the property. This sophisticated approach to spatial design, combined with the integration of artistic elements and functional considerations, establishes a unique hospitality experience that balances luxury with cultural sensitivity, earning recognition from the A' Design Award for its innovative approach to interior space design.
