Pure House Boutique Hotel is located in a hillside in Dali, China. The architects solved the problems concerning the utilization of terrain, landscaping, the organization of the space, view-blocking, and introduction of natural elements, etc. in this project.
The building's elevation was lowered as a sunken yard to fit the sloping fields. Two layers of halls are transparent and bright as they borrowed sceneries from courtyards in the front and back. The walls of the courtyards on the left and right sides are continuous and positive, it merges the boundaries among the main building, courtyards, side yards, corridor and terrace, establishing a visual link between the mountains, the sea, and the pastoral areas.
The hotel aims to provide people with a pure living scene through the extraordinary minimal design way, so as to reflects the design concept of ""relaxation"" and ""warmth"". We have carried an attitude of following our heart, returning to the mountains from the initial design . The building integrates into the site with a peaceful and tolerant design approach. After constant discussions and self-denial, the number of rooms was reduced from the earliest 20 to 13, and finally came to its current best state. Here, we tried to establish a vivid spatial sequence: go up the mountain, enter into the yard, back to a room, watch the clouds, overlook the sea. The building provides an image of returning to ""home"" in a humble and gentle gesture. By integrating a series of narrative spaces into narrative sites, the designers create a unique space experience.
As the second public space, the semi-opened space on the top pushed the building to another climax, where the designers designed the coffee bar, communication area and sightseeing as a whole, which acts as a true 360 ° viewing platform.
