Ultra-Modern Countryside Hotels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

One Take Architects Embarks on a Renovation in Yixing Country

— June 1, 2018 — World
Located in the Bamboo Sea Village in Hufu Township, the Silver Linings Boutique Countryside Hotel embodies a strong cozy and romantic quality in its interior design. As the building is located in the renowned "scenic spot in Jiangnan," the traveler's experience of the temporary residence is sure to arise feelings of comfort, inspiration and mindfulness.

One Take Architects focused on the contemporary identity of each room and added traditional connotations to it. Renovating the "cookie-cutter windows and ill-conceived balconies," the firm played with the exposition of scenery by utilizing two Chinese-inspired landscaping techniques. In addition, cobblestones and handmade objects were brought into the interior design of the countryside hotel to communicate a natural and local experience to visitors.
