The-Chedi-Xinchang-China-中国浙江新昌安岚度假酒店
上海
A striking hospitality pavilion precedent featuring a fully glazed gabled facade perfectly mirrored in a still reflecting pool at twilight.
- What we like about this project
- Low bollard lights line the pool edge exactly under the vertical mullions, doubling the rhythm in the water reflection.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical gabled pavilion fronted by a wide, calm reflecting pool; glass curtain wall fills the entire gable end, framed by dark mullions.
- Facade system
- Post-and-beam timber or dark metal structure supporting a large glass curtain wall system.
- Structural guess
- Steel or heavy timber post-and-beam frame with a broad overhang gabled roof structure.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion scale with an expansive gabled roof, humanized by low pathway lighting and stepping stones.
- Lighting
- Twilight blue hour sky contrasted with warm interior illumination and small ground-level bollard lights casting reflections on the water.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, luminous, and tranquil evening mood created by the pool reflection and warm interior glow.
- Environmental context
- Mountainous or hilly resort setting at night under a crescent moon, flanked by dark vegetation and terraced topography.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching across the water via stepping stones, the illuminated interior glows like a lantern suspended above the dark pool.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict vertical mullion spacing mirrored perfectly across the horizontal waterline axis.
