New Beacon Hotel

New Beacon Hotel is an exemplary architectural and interior design achievement that masterfully blends oriental artistic conception with modern aesthetic sensibilities, situated in Xiantao, China. This sophisticated hospitality space, completed in 2020 under the creative direction of designer Lichen Ding and team, encompasses a 350-square-meter lobby area with a 4.5-meter ceiling height, demonstrating an innovative approach to contemporary hotel design. The project's distinctive spatial composition features three entry courtyards integrated into a progressive contextual system, creating a harmonious dialogue between traditional Chinese symmetrical layouts and modern design elements. The design philosophy emphasizes the transformation of space into an emotional journey, where architectural elements, materials, and lighting work in concert to create a sophisticated narrative that bridges millennia of Chinese cultural heritage with contemporary luxury. Through the thoughtful application of wood, glass, metal, and stone, the space achieves a delicate balance between imperial grandeur and modern sophistication. The design's unique approach to spatial arrangement creates infinite visual perspectives, allowing visitors to experience a seamless blend of classical and contemporary elements, effectively positioning them as time travelers between past and future. This exceptional work, which garnered the Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, showcases innovative solutions for limited-scale spaces while maintaining strong cultural connections through its meticulous attention to traditional Chinese architectural principles and modern design sensibilities.
