Fame Hotel

The bright red columns stand like open palace gates, presenting a classical ceremonial welcome to invite prosperity and blessings. In the heart of the space, the Dali-style cowry coin takes on a landscape role, incorporating the Duan clan's cultural essence into the structural fabric of the space.

The "Shehuo" celebration is a unique local festivity, during which villagers scatter molten iron in front of the theater stage to kindle the festival fire. Shirtless, they navigate through the fire trees and silver flowers, creating a grand and awe-inspiring dragon dance performance. Designer Mr. Lin Feng, touched by the cultural significance of this event, takes the dual-sided architecture of the theater pavilion in clear and rainy conditions as the backdrop. Employing artistic paintings as a symbol of vibrant red flames, he faithfully reproduces the wooden carved chandeliers on both sides in a 1:1 ratio, blending in starry elements to materialize a dazzling array of sparks, freezing the fiery spectacle of the 'shehuo' celebration in a moment of encounter.

The principles of Eastern classical aesthetics emphasize "clarity and translucency in window mullions, and intricacy and delicacy in railings". This entails using the lines of doors, windows, and railings as borders to produce a refined effect of framing scenes like works of art. The designer incorporates landscaping expertise into the lounge design, skillfully merging the boundaries of different functional zones within the space. Utilizing key points and spatial landmarks, they achieve a dynamic interplay between the functional areas, creating a shared scenic ambiance.

Crafting spatial depth and tactile sensations transcends mere accessory layering; this project blends classical architectural elements with contemporary design methodologies, showcasing a pronounced cultural identity within the space. The design of the communal dining space not only embraces the festive and classical charm of the lobby's vibrant red hue, but also integrates contrasting painted surfaces, layered glass, and brushed antique bronze metal in terms of materials. The harmonious blend of modern elements and traditional embellishments heightens the perception of subtle luxury, blending scholarly elegance with a pursuit of quality in one setting.
