深圳东部华侨城瀑布酒店
上海 / 厦门
A striking resort architecture precedent integrating angled glass volumes and elevated connectors directly into a monumental cliffside waterfall.
- What we like about this project
- An inclined funicular or slide track runs directly down the cliff face alongside the primary waterfall cascade.

- Geometry
- An asymmetrical composition featuring angled glass volumes connected by elevated glazed bridges, set against a sheer artificial rock wall with extensive cascading waterfalls.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall structural glazing with angled planar glass elements.
- Structural guess
- Steel truss framing for the elevated skybridges supporting glazed curtain walls.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental scale; the multi-story glass blocks are dwarfed by the massive cliffside and waterfall backdrop.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight under an overcast sky, casting soft highlights across the glass facades and water spray.
- Atmosphere
- Misty, dramatic, and immersive, dominated by the sound and sight of falling water.
- Environmental context
- Mountainous resort setting integrated with dense tropical foliage and monumental artificial rock formations.
- Spatial experience
- The approach links floating glass pavilions through heavily landscaped, dramatic cliffside topography.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal glazed walkway links punctuate the vertical drop of the cliffside and waterfalls.
