A contextual hospitality precedent demonstrating how folded perforated metal screens and textured masonry can bridge modern programmatic needs with historic neighborhood fabrics.
- What we like about this project
- Traditional stone guardian lion juxtaposed against the crisp, contemporary geometry of the sliding entry gates.

- Geometry
- Multi-tiered horizontal composition stepping up from street level, combining a solid textured base, expansive glazed mid-level, and folded decorative upper screen.
- Facade system
- Perforated metal folding screen over glazed timber framing on a textured concrete and stone base.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with non-loadbearing decorative metal and glass curtain walls.
- Spatial scale
- Three-story street-facing volume framed by mature urban canopy and pedestrian walkways.
- Lighting
- Direct warm afternoon sunlight catching the perforated upper screens and casting deep shadows beneath overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, serene, and carefully mediated between ancient courtyard vernacular and contemporary craft.
- Environmental context
- Urban infill setting featuring mature trees, traditional grey tiled Chinese courtyard roofs, and distant high-rise towers.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching from the tree-lined public path reveals a heavily layered threshold between modern hospitality interventions and historic roofscapes.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stratification interrupted by the rhythmic folded geometry of the upper screen panels.
