Nestled amidst the serene landscape of Tangshan Mountain, the Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo emerges as a luxurious haven, blending opulence with ecological restoration. CCD, in their interior design, sought to transform the once devastated industrial ruins into a harmonious sanctuary that nurtures the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature.
A Rebirth in the Quarry Valley
Set against the backdrop of an abandoned limestone quarry, the hotel’s design is a testament to rebirth and renewal. Drawing inspiration from the concept of breaking through the cocoon for a new beginning, CCD meticulously reshaped the barren landscape, weaving elements of light, stone, forest, and rain into a mesmerizing wonderland. The result is a minimalist, modern design language that encapsulates the vitality of nature’s metamorphosis.
Embracing Nature’s Embrace
Central to the design is the metaphor of the “cocoon” – a symbol of transformation and rejuvenation. The interior spaces, adorned with simple lines and woven bamboo elements, exude a sense of warmth and nurture reminiscent of a mother’s embrace. Curved forms soften the space, inviting guests to embark on a journey of imagination and exploration. Natural materials, carefully selected for their sustainability, seamlessly integrate the architecture with its surroundings, fostering a sense of harmony and unity with the environment.
Exploring the Valley of Light
The lobby bar, aptly named the “Valley of Light,” serves as a gateway to adventure, immersing guests in a natural canyon-like setting. Here, light and shadow dance amidst fluid daylight, creating an ethereal atmosphere that evokes a sense of wonder and awe. As guests traverse the space, they are greeted by a poetic interplay of natural hues and structures, inviting contemplation and reflection on the interconnectedness of space, time, and nature.
Journeying Through Enchantment
From the “Forest” to the “Valley of Fireflies,” each space within the hotel unfolds as a secret world waiting to be discovered. Subtle details and intricate patterns echo the mysteries of Tangshan Mountain, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination. As guests wander through these enchanted realms, they are enveloped in a sense of tranquility and wonder, where time seems to slow down, and every corner reveals a new surprise.
Harmonizing with the Landscape
In every guestroom, the design seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings, creating an ambiance that resonates with the spirit of the quarry valley. Retro green hues and warm textures imbue the space with a sense of vitality and tranquility, inviting guests to unwind and reconnect with nature. Through careful curation of materials and forms, CCD has crafted an environment where luxury and ecological sustainability coexist in perfect harmony.
The Interior Design of Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo by CCD is more than just a hotel – it is a testament to the transformative power of design, where every space tells a story of rebirth, renewal, and the enduring beauty of nature.
