This 10,000 room eco hotel was designed for a brief from the Dehan Group in Xiayin town, Ji County, one hours drive east of Beijing airport.
The proposal takes the form of a seven hundred metre diameter circle nestled into a scenic valley. Within are enclosed winter gardens, rivers and a public transport network. An eccentric futuristic lookout tower provide a view of the complex, and the great wall beyond.
Ji County is an idyllic valley ripe for ECO development. The challenge proposed by the client was to come up with a design which allowed the commercial ambitions of the client and the ecological constraints of the local government to co-exist.
