As a boutique hotel, the concept of ‘floating city on the sea’ can be seen throughout the hotel design, combining the local cultural elements of Minnan with urban design techniques, it narrates the historical changes of “the fishing village”.

Besides the interior design, CCD also engaged in the hotel architectural design and landscape design, as you can feel the integrity of the space and the unity of the entire hospitality design from the drop-off area.

CCD combined the history of local culture with spatial details and let the guests discover and experience from the design elements. The villages are divided by walls, and the houses are scattered around. The floor plan of the hotel follows the arrangement of the villages, as different zones are divided by walls and intersected by landscapes between different areas. Look down from the above; each area is like a box, representing a household with different personalities and designs. The entrance of the Joyze Hotel incorporates the local culture of ‘brick wall’, which is a very unique way of building a wall in Minnan architecture that uses stones and bricks of different shapes to overlay and build simple and beautiful walls.

The design concept of “Floating City on the Sea” is expressed through the subtle design method. The façade of the wall is constructed with boxes, and it transforms from empty to solid, presenting a feeling of ‘floating’, the orderly change of the gradient also presents a sense of rhythm swinging with the current.

Last year more than 40 countries took part in the WIN Awards with strong showings from Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. And we saw some truly outstanding interior designs, take a look at the winners from last year here.
