青海湖观湖国际大酒店
北京
An aerial precedent of a resort hotel featuring sweeping wave-like roofs and stone massing, designed to integrate into an expansive lake and grassland landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The undulating rooflines overlap like folding ribbons, creating covered outdoor terraces between wings.

- Geometry
- Sinuous, undulating roof forms sweep across interconnected, stone-clad wings that follow a curved ground layout.
- Facade system
- Punched window openings set within ashlar stone masonry walls below sweeping cantilevered roof canopies.
- Structural guess
- Steel trusses supporting large curved roof canopies over concrete frame and masonry accommodation wings.
- Spatial scale
- Large resort hotel complex spanning several wings, dwarfed by the massive scale of the surrounding natural landscape.
- Lighting
- Twilight sky with warm sunset gradient on the horizon; interior windows glow warmly against darkening grassland.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and vast, contrasting the warm glowing shelter with the cool, sprawling wilderness at dusk.
- Environmental context
- Expansive flat grassland and shoreline landscape with a large lake stretching to the horizon under a vast sky.
- Spatial experience
- From above, the building reads as an organic landform echoing the rolling horizon, while internal lights articulate a warm inhabited base.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating window modules punctuate the stone facades beneath continuous, fluid roof waves.
