by Copy taken from 2020 entry 23 June 2020 2020

The Naera Hotel is next to the ancient town of Xitang, It’s a typical typical Jiangnan garden. The næra have five dark ‘boxes’ with different lengths located at the waterside, existing independently but looking at and reflecting each other. They are unified with the interior and the landscape, separated from the main body of the architecture, forming a contemporary line of sight and a slight visual confrontation with the pavilion. At the same time, the path and the moving line of the "garden", including the pattern of light entering and changing, are also defined.

Restaurant, musical room, tea room, study room, bar... They not only satisfy practical functions, but also take into account the aesthetic taste.

The Næra, which means ‘good soil’ in Chinese, might be one of the hotels that preserves the most contemporary artworks. It exhibits the original works of 35 artists. Art pieces displayed in each place have their own lives, blooming in the "good soil". They are in harmony with the hotel's atmosphere, reflect the expression and the mood of a certain group of people, and represent the unique power accumulated by the aesthetics of this era.

The human care, comfort and various details are shown by all the supporting facilities. The old photos hanging in the hallway record the memory of the participants and will become a point to remember for the guests. We all accumulate and grow as time passes by.

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.
