INSPIRATION Create a relaxing, five-star retreat for guests
by skillfully intermingling traditional Oriental elegance and
modern touches.
IDEATION "Embodying the essence of Chengdu and the cultural
sprit of contemporary Chinese art deco, guests are given a new
interpretation on the stylish properties of Oriental elements,"
says Jeff Ning, senior vice president, Dalian Wanda Commercial
Properties and leader of the design team at Wanda HDI. "In addition, a large number of European baroque classical artistic styles
are integrated into the overall design, while the artistic decorations incorporate local culture, such as the gold inlaid paintings of
confederate roses and the generous use of porcelain."
INNOVATION

To ensure that guests enjoy a unique experience,

the designers made what Ning describes as "some brave, creative
choices" in the layout of the guest rooms. That includes placing
the bathroom immediately adjacent to the entry door. "This
brings the corridor into the bathroom area, and thereby creates
an even better sense of space," says Ning.
INTEL Don't be afraid to do your homework. For example, the
designers tried several different options before coming up with
a two-way sliding door at the entry that gives guests in the bathroom a measure of privacy. They also installed an opaque, jade
screen between the bathroom and the bedroom. "We conducted
in-depth research into the fabrication and installation of this
piece, and finally wound up splitting a piece of jade in two and
sticking each piece to a sheet of tempered glass, in a hanging
display," says Ning. "To meet load-bearing requirements, each
piece of jade is just 5 mm thick, which lets light pass through but
is still opaque, thereby creating an excellent decorative effect."
