"The project consists of 12 detached guest units, each occupying a plot of 150-180 sqm, with a built area of over 80 sqm. The units are organized into four clusters, where functions such as living rooms, bedrooms, soaking pools, and tea pavilions are distributed across separate volumes."
"Material selection is centered on timber construction. Existing wood elements are retained and reintroduced, while new structures follow similar construction logic. The architectural language references Tibetan vernacular dwellings through the use of wooden shingles and tiled roofs."
"Each guest unit is conceived as a sequence of spaces rather than a single enclosed volume. Transitional zones, including dedicated living areas, operate as intermediate spaces between interior and exterior conditions."
The Songtsm Travel Hotel Jiuzhai project reimagines a micro-village into a resort at 3,000 meters in Jiuzhaigou. It features 12 detached guest units organized in clusters, promoting a dispersed spatial system. The design emphasizes timber construction, retaining existing wood elements and referencing Tibetan vernacular architecture. Each unit is designed as a sequence of spaces, facilitating a connection between interior living and the surrounding landscape. The use of untreated materials highlights the natural aging process and environmental exposure.
