Reborn: Apartment Z

The project is located next to the beautiful Wuhan Yuehu Bridge. The building is built on the Han River, facing the Yue Lake.

The concept takes reborn as the design theme, and considers the use of materials and carbon footprint, using abandoned building materials and agricultural production residues as the main decoration materials, so that the materials can be reborn and give the opportunity for a second life.

Old bricks were collected from the demolition sites in nearby villages around Wuhan. After cleaning ,the old bricks was used as a feature wall in the cafe at the front desk of the hotel. Local memories preserved and historical culture inherited.

The decorative walls and furniture were made by the wheat straw boards from agricultural production surpluses.
