PAVILION HOTEL
Yunnan, China
Luguhu is a minority-driven realm in Yunnan, characterized by a clear water big lake and a cliff-looking mountain next to it. The visitor is taken back in time to experience a strong culture heritage in close relationship to the nature.
The lake shore has been over populated within last decade creating not only logistic problems but a high impact into the ecosystem. The design team was aware of it after several years working in the area therefore suggested a location far out of the main lake where the visitor could properly experience the atmosphere. Taking for granted that the holy mountain would always be the corner point.
A rectilinear- narrow road pointing the mountain cuts the straw fields and drives travelers to the site by its northern side while the south is defined by a small water canal and seasonal vegetation.
The site is defined by a bottleneck geometry which led the design to a chain shaped arrangement of different volumes. There is an unspoken local rule regarding the building size corresponding to each family hence the chain was split into two different wings.
These volumes are set perpendicular to the road whilst open to the south seeking for the light and privacy.
Travelers come across the sequences of in and out spaces discovering different atmosphere one after the other. Rooms are located on the west side and rest of living spaces with daytime frequency are placed on the east side. The two wings are articulated by a pond and an orchard.
The scheme achieves a bidirectional sense, merges the surrounding landscape and sets the pace both for the circulation inside and outside.
There is a delicate sense of belonging in the area and architectural heritage must be respected hence construction should follow what German Architect, G.Semper, describes as the primitive hut and its four basic elements; Mound, enclosure, roof, and hearth.
First layers of soil show the proximity of water therefore the mound is made of a superficial solid stone foundation with a reinforced concrete crown.
Enclosures changes from the top to the bottom. A concrete wall rise from the foundation to hold a light steel structure wrapped with local wood, whilst the vernacular pitched roof acquires a dramatic overhang and a variable section depending on the space underneath.
A range of either structure details or internal elements provide the particular character to each pavilion within a common language.
