​The project is a large complex of hotel and office buildings, creating a unique urban forest in the city. The main sunken garden and the courtyard spaces within office become a spectacular feature of the hotel, inserting a large plot of greenery into the urban fabric of Beijing.

The green features within the site also diffuse into the interior of the hotel. It is an experience of journeying through nature from lobby entrance to guestrooms as well as other areas of the hotel. By extracting different natural features in different regions of China, such as stepping field, bamboo forest, etc, we translate the essence of nature through different architectural and tectonic approaches. They help to define different programmes and zonings in the enormous hotel.
