HANGHO LAND • BOMA NO. 36 PRIVATE CLUB

Drawing on “Visit to the Land of Peach Blossoms”, a poem written by the ancient Chinese poet Wang Wei, the project incorporates picturesque views in the poem into the design, which present an urban modern poetic space.

In the reception hall and entertainment area, automatic folding doors can be opened or closed flexibly, which enables the two functional areas to be separated from yet connected to the outside atrium. Presence of necessary columns in the space is weakened. Besides, the perfect combination of white marbles and walnut wood, as well as the match of grey travertine and brass footrest on the side of bar counter, showcase exquisiteness and elegance.

The open Western-style kitchen and the entertainment area are perfect for parties and recreational activities. In the original space, there were staggered floor slabs and multiple pillars. The designers ingeniously integrated beams and pillars into the open kitchen, which solved the defect of the original spatial structure and also enhanced aesthetic and functionality.

Bathrooms are dominated by an elegant tone, with visual imagery of mountains, clouds and mist. A large area of white marbles on walls presents a fascinating view that mist suffuses on the peak of mountains, and provides refreshing and clean visual experiences. Cylindrical sinks on the handwashing station weakens the rigidness caused by lines and add a relaxing ambience to the space.

In the karaoke area, the gleaming agate bar counter is a visual highlight. It allows friends to gather around and savour a glass of wine. The ceiling is demarcated based on functional areas below it, which strengthens functionality of the space. This area can serve for both reception and recreation. Moreover, there is a separate pantry room behind the bar counter, which can provide bespoke services according to guests’ needs.

The sunken courtyard provides a serene space, where people can sit, taste a cup of tea and meditate.
