Boutique Design - July/August 2018 - 28
2 If less is more, how do
you define less? There's
nothing minimalist about
the plethora of textures
in this restaurant, but
the team pared back the
number of knickknacks.
THE SENSORY SOPHISTICATE
Forget about choosing just a destination. STUDIO8's
design for this rural hideaway reads more like a personality quiz. Four room types each reflect a different element
from the surrounding landscape: bamboo forest, mountain, tea farm and sky. That informs the materiality of each
space; it also informs which sense it plays to.
This kind of self-selecting hotspot might just be the
answer for the been-there, done-that frequent traveler.
They've already seen all the best incarnations of almost
any resort concept you can name. Shirley Dong, chief
architect, STUDIO8, cautions that more isn't more, even
for an affluent connoisseur.
"We work under the belief that a well-designed space
requires almost no additional decoration," says the
Shanghai-based designer. "In order to generate a homey
atmosphere, we chose natural, bleached and blond wood
tones combined with concrete and stone. The color
palette is based on beiges, cool grays, light browns, tans
and deeper tobacco shades combined with soft and plain
textures to obtain an earthy feeling." While the tonality

gets changed up to fit each room type, Dong and her
team created a sense of continuity throughout the architecture and design, using local construction materials
and playing up the connection to nature (the site is
renowned for its biodiversity).
Linking that common thread into each of the room
types was easier done than said. The tea room's green
tones, the bamboo room's pink colors, the mountain
room's dark gray hues and the sky room's light blue decorations all mesh well with the more neutral, hard-edged
public space aesthetic. Similarly, the materials in each
build on the simple textures throughout the hotel: green
sand stone in the tea room, dark gray stone in the mountain room, bamboo furnishings in the wood-themed room
and extensive use of mirrors and reflection in the sky
room. The FF&E palette is just one differentiator. Dong
and her team also used sensory references to personalize
the experiences: the tea room refers to smell, the mountain room to sight, the bamboo room to hearing and the
sky room to touch. Talk about immersive.
