An exquisite hospitality complex precedent demonstrating how expressive timber roof curves and stepped concrete podiums integrate with a steep mountain forest setting.
- What we like about this project
- The undulating roof line subtly mimics the rolling ridges of the surrounding bamboo mountains.

- Geometry
- Multi-tiered hillside composition with stepped concrete podiums and lightweight timber pavilion structures topped by undulating, gently curved rooflines.
- Facade system
- Open timber post-and-beam colonnade with full-height glazing above board-formed concrete walls.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete podium supporting exposed laminated timber superstructure and curved roof framing.
- Spatial scale
- Medium-scale resort or hospitality complex, featuring multi-story concrete bases beneath single-story timber pavilions.
- Lighting
- Twilight or overcast daylight conditions, with warm interior illumination glowing through the open timber colonnade.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and contemplative, blending warm organic timber materials with the cool, misty mountain atmosphere.
- Environmental context
- Steep, densely forested mountain slope with lush bamboo trees enveloping the building complex.
- Spatial experience
- The architecture cascades down the verdant mountain slope, stepping back to create continuous outdoor terraces and open viewing platforms.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical timber columns create a steady rhythm against the glazed pavilion envelope, contrasted by heavy, horizontal concrete base tiers.
