Lostvilla Qinyong Primary School Hotel

Firm Location上海, China
Project locationNingbo City, Zhejiang Province, China
CompanyAtelier XÜK
Lead ArchitectKenan Liu, Xu Zhang

The project was to renovate an obsolete rural primary school into a boutique hotel. Facing the difficulty of transforming a solid masonry building and a tight budget, a strategy of intervention was adopted to form a “bricolage” of the old and the new. From furniture to add-on structure, in-situ fabricating techniques are used to achieve an atmosphere of quality which coheres with the context. Boundaries between divisions of design process were broken, and spatial elements are re-integrated to become moderator of scale and experience, as well as responsive solutions for technical issues.
