DESCRIPTION


Jinfo Mountain is located in Nanchuan District, Chongqing. Jinfo Mountain, also known as Jinshan Mountain, was called Jiudi Mountain in ancient times. It is the main peak of the Dalou Mountains. Founded 260 million years ago, it has three wonders: karst World Natural Heritage, biodiversity and Buddhist culture. In 2013, it was approved as a 5A national scenic spot, consisting of 108 peaks of Jinfo, Jingba and Baizhi Mountain, with a total area of 1,300 square kilometers. More than 700 years ago, Marco Polo recorded the heroic, strange, dangerous and complex Jinfo Mountain in his travel notes to Jinfo Mountain, with mountains, water, forests, springs and sound shapes. Puxiang Hotel and nature coexist with each other. Between the cliffs and cliffs, macaques play in it, and the winding path leads to the depths of the valley. The mountain streams, streams, clouds and fog are very mysterious, creating an extremely quiet Zen state.
The winding path leads to the secluded place, the Zen room has deep flowers and trees, the mountain scenery is pleasing to birds, and the pool shadow is empty - "The title breaks the Zen Temple Behind the Mountain Temple". Zen has no borders. It is about the harmony between the heart and the spirit, and the teachings of Buddhism. Puxiang Hotel adheres to the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism and treats guests with "Zen", which is intended to recuperate the tired guests' body and mind, wash away their inner prosperity, and calm their thoughts.
We shape light and shadow, space and matter. The hotel building is in a long shape based on the surrounding environment. According to alpine streams, it is built in the architectural form of high and low field cottages and small bridges and running water, creating a pure, quiet and far-reaching sense of space. Green tiles and white walls, the simple and elegant door first came into sight. There were lush pine and cypresses planted at the door, and the sunlight sprinkled on the wall through the fine leaves, swaying. The handmade matte hammer wood grain copper plates decorated everywhere bring a warm texture to the clean space. The bathroom is wrapped in black basalt with minimalist methods combined with natural elements to form a seamless connection between the ground and wall, which is extremely unified. The overall style of the room area adopts warm wood grain finishes and warm straw paint, and the bedding with cotton and linen texture creates a warm and comfortable home atmosphere. Most of the space here extends to nature in the form of terraces or courtyards. We have built a supernatural landscape through large areas of floor-to-ceiling windows, which protects the indoor and external environments. The ground is connected together, blurring boundaries, growing naturally, introducing natural pictures with simple design methods and rhythmic spatial layout, bringing people closer to nature, and building an artistic and free space.
The public area continues the overall integration of Japanese Zen style and modern minimalist style. Natural light is the soul of Japanese style. We introduce light into the room with an empty patio atrium of the lobby, and fully mobilize the color interaction between sunlight and the interior of the space. The simple space level creates the aesthetic demands of modern people. At the same time, reading, exhibition and leisure are embedded in it to create a sense of life. Through the resonance between the external landscape and the internal space, it presents the humanistic and artistic texture of the interior of the space. Black is a deep and mysterious color, which can give people a stable and calm feeling. The exterior of the building uses black aluminum and warm straw paint in large areas to create minimalist Zen aesthetics through elegant and quiet senses.
We hope to know the interior and exterior, material details and grids with a close-person design, which is perfect and surprises to occupants. I hope every guest who comes here can get rid of the burdens and shackles and return to their original heart.

We look for the relationship between nature and space, the dialogue between space and light and shadow. It is hoped that the design will be designed to the human scale, to the inside and the outside, to the details of materials, to the knowledge of objects, to the As Good as It Gets and to the desire to bring surprises to the users. I hope that every user of space can unburden and shackles, return to the original heart. Design is both an ideal and a responsibility.
