IAI Best Architectural Design Award
Project Name:Suzhou jinji Lake MO Hotel
Winner name:
Zeybekoglu and Associates, Inc.
Introduction:
Suzhou Jinji Lake MO Hotel, as a new cultural landmark on the eastern shore of Jinji Lake, combines the essence of traditional garden design with contemporary cutting-edge construction techniques, giving it a dual urban character. At dusk, the mist hovers over the water, casting a faint shadow on the Eastern Gate, while Peach Blossom Island is partially hidden and partially visible. The Ferris wheel and starlight echo each other, as the hotel floats in like a cloud, with twists and undulations.
From an aerial perspective, the hotel buildings resemble three exquisitely carved jade seals. The guest rooms evoke the colors of clouds and the shimmering lake, while the public areas create the sensation of being immersed in a painting of ancient Suzhou. This evokes the imagination of the ancients towards a mythical realm of pavilions and palaces. It allows guests to experience the modern lifestyle of Suzhou and contemporary architectural aesthetics within an atmosphere rich in art and culture.
