莆田香格里拉温泉酒店
上海 / 厦门
An exterior precedent for nature-integrated hospitality architecture featuring low-slung pavilions and dramatic pitched roofs nestled in forest settings.
- What we like about this project
- The exaggerated upswept ridge details on the dark roof provide a subtle modern twist on traditional form.

- Geometry
- Horizontal pavilion structure nestled below a dominant, flared dark metal roofline with traditional overhanging ridges.
- Facade system
- Recessed timber-and-glass perimeter wall sheltered under deep overhanging eaves.
- Structural guess
- Timber or steel post-and-beam frame supporting a lightweight metal roof system.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion scale, dominated by the surrounding natural landscape and large sky.
- Lighting
- Twilight or early morning atmospheric light with a soft gradient across the vast sky and warm interior glow emanating beneath the eaves.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, meditative dusk atmosphere blending architecture quietly into the surrounding wilderness.
- Environmental context
- Extensive forest canopy and distant water body surround the low-rise resort structure.
- Spatial experience
- The building recedes into the dense landscape, presenting a quiet, grounded horizontal silhouette against an expansive sky.
- Composition rhythm
- Heavy horizontal layering of roof, warm glazing band, and forest canopy balanced against a vast vertical sky.
