Büro Ole Scheeren Designs Hanging Gardens for Topical Resort in China

Posted: 13 Mar 2022 10:30 PM PDT

Büro Ole Scheeren has revealed the design for a tropical resort complex in Sanya, one of China's most popular holiday destinations. The project establishes a strong connection with its natural environment, amplifying the presence of lush greenery. The stacked volumes create a curved façade embracing the ocean and amplifying the panorama, while the offsets and openings create the opportunity for natural plantings throughout the building, bringing to life a version of the hanging gardens.

The idea of the City in Space saw the light of day for the first time and was proclaimed as an absolute architecture, capable of resolving all the complexities of its contemporaneity through a unique open, flexible and three-dimensional model.

Statement interiors leave a lasting impression on both frequent and infrequent users, whether with striking pieces of furniture, oversized lighting, or even a bold feature wall. The very best creations, however, don't need to beg for attention to be recounted afterward, they let praise come to them with a peacocking presence so extravagant, it's impossible not to take notice.

In the architectural conversations taking place today, sustainability is a key topic of interest. Architecture firms embrace the term as a key part of their design ethos, and architecture schools globally have integrated designing "green" architecture as a core component of their curriculums.

Online, for instance, guides abound on how you can make your home more eco-friendly and energy-efficient.
