The project is located in Gouqi Island in Zhoushan Shengsi, known as the "Little Greece" in the east, the easternmost in habited island of the motherland, a treasure island away from the hustle and bustle of the city with a 4-hour ferry ride.The hotel is based on a natural and pristine cliff outside the round about road in the southwest of Gouqi Island,embraced by the bay, and the overall sea environment is rather introverted and peaceful.

Here we were to create a themed resort with nearly 40 rooms, but the brutality and steepness of the base's own to pography, in contrast to the calm of the ocean, provided a tension of place and an opportunity and challenge to the design of the hotel.

When the Cliff Hotel was first designed, it was faced with the anxiety of designing a hotel that would be "invisible" to the city in the face of a deserted site, but at the same time, the hotel itself was also "invisible", because the highest point of the hotel had to be lower than the round about in the planning conditions in 1.5 meters, that means from the island's round about road you can only see the roof of the hotel, a hotel hidden in the cliffs.

The cliff is a natural occurrence and the project is influenced by the topography of the site, with units scattered into the base in a top-down fashion. At the same time, the hotel units should alsobe placed in accordance with the mountain shape, the end spaces and floors willbe stacked to form an interesting retreat space, while providing a rich flow experience from top to bottom for the guests.And the sea view on one side becomes apermanent sight during all the wandering, creating a small city in the hotel.
