Hangzhou Jinxi Hotel is situated in the heart of West Lake, a scenic area boasting a privileged natural landscape and rich historical heritage. The restaurant's redesign is dedicated to merging Hangzhou's extensive historical culture with the natural beauty of West Lake, delving into the traditional courtyard architectural styles and garden layouts of the Jiangnan region. Drawing on these elements as a blueprint and integrating modern design techniques, the renovation creates a dining environment imbued with a profound Oriental aesthetic.
The restaurant's entrance features large glass doors and windows to enhance the continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. Extensive use of windows and glass doors connects the restaurant with the external garden landscape, offering guests a triple sensory delight of taste, sight, and smell. The interior design focuses on balancing comfort and aesthetics, incorporating traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy into the walls and decorations to strengthen the overall cultural atmosphere of the space. The gentle selection of materials and the elegance of ink-wash landscapes create a tranquil and profound cultural ambiance.
