Located at the 32nd floor of the highest building, Bodi Center, in Hangzhou, the project was given distinctive features at the beginning of design. The whole building looks like a hollow rounded triangle from the top and the project is on one side of it. With amazing view outside the window, especially at night, the project enables people to feel like living above clouds. Designers were inspired by an old saying that a real hermit emphasizes peace in spiritual level rather than in formal one, so that even though in a noisy city, it’s possible to have a peaceful mind. Therefore, the project is an extraordinary example of “A quiet shelter in crowds.”
The project functions moreover as a working space. To satisfy various needs, it is divided into different functional areas such as reception area, negotiation area, tea room, mini bar. Each space features oriental Zen, filled with the tranquil and leisurely atmosphere. Entering the simply decorated reception area where natural texture is adopted as main color and ornamented with exquisite rattan works of art, one will have a peaceful mind and a relaxed body. In the negotiation area, one can enjoy the prosperous scene of city life outside while immersing yourself in the oriental Zen.
The windows give full view of outdoor natural landscape, the broad horizon from which represents the owner’s broad mind and big-picture thinking. Chinese ink and wash artistic settings, the screen of landscape painting and bonsai add to a sense of oriental charm.
