It located in Once a quiet dormitory, the project has been thoughtfully transformed into a boutique hotel, aiming to blend modern design with traditional Zen aesthetics. Cradled within a verdant forest near the shimmering Miyun Reservoir and set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, the site is a sanctuary of stillness and natural beauty. The design creates three distinct open areas—a front yard, courtyard, and rear lawn. Prioritizing exterior gardens over interior footprint, softly lit landscapes extend beyond the façade, offering a shared visual amenity for guests and pedestrians.
