The physical spaces are divided by themes that feature the porcelain journey from China’s origin, eventually spread and influence in the broader world, and return to its native home. The different spaces are the origin (Lobby), the creation (Lounge), the discovery (Ballroom), the fascination (All Day Dining), the appreciation (SPA & Pool), and the return (Guestrooms). Each space explores and uses ceramic differently, pulling out different colors and textures. Each area is a piece of the journey. The project seeks to unite raw and refinement, turning ceramics into multiple space and patterns.
