Wuhan Amix Hotel

About The Entry

This project is situated on Pengliuyang West Road in the historic area of Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, right at the heart of the city and surrounded by scenic attractions, thus boasting unique tourism resources. As Yellow Crane Tower's popularity grows, there's been a surge in demand for vacation spots, paving the way for imminent land value realization. Drawing inspiration from the art style of Keith Haring and the iconic Wuhan dish "Hot Dry Noodles", the design team has embarked on exploring the concept of "art in a single line" through abstract curves, to probe the symbiosis of commerce and art. This approach integrates aesthetic living into the hotel, creating a relaxed social space aimed at the youth. The hotel, set in a renovated old building, features a facade on the street side that has been transformed into expansive floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize the views. The design coherence across the textures, shapes, and colors of both soft and hard furnishings enhances the ambiance, thereby elevating the spatial quality. Embracing a "relaxed hotel" theme, the design spreads across three levels: art, boutique, and social. The layout includes a ground-floor rainforest-themed pocket park and café, boutique hotel rooms on the second to fourth floors, and a combination of creative office spaces and art galleries on the fifth and sixth floors. This configuration allows guests to enjoy an artistic lifestyle during their stay, making the hotel a destination for urban living. The hotel's front area features a rainforest-themed pocket park, inviting passersby to pause for coffee, work, or conversation. The design strategically uses wall placement and furniture to direct the flow of movement, transforming the traditional hotel restaurant into a versatile "morning coffee, evening brew" themed social space. This area serves as a hotel breakfast spot, a daytime coffee bar, and an evening craft brew bar.
