PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Mix of dark copper, wood, light-colored cotton and white cortex fabric brings elegance and charm to the space. Scattered art paintings, white ceramic artworks, flowers full of vitality blend with each other, present the solemn dignity and nobleness of old Shanghai to the extreme.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project covers 29,037 square meters. The Lobby on the ground floor, with the design philosophy of "less is more", has soft and delicate lights. Dark wood, gray cotton and grain marble embrace each other on the wall structure, to create the common interpretation of the simplicity and quiescence. When holding the breath, eyes then scattered on the distant chandeliers and three-dimensional carved marble wall. The vertical distribution of stripes look like a flowing water curtain, starting the upcoming story between you and the hotel.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: From "Self" to "Others" and from outside to inside, BLVD regains the rhyme by upholding Shanghai culture’s pursuit of elegance, and brings guests a pleasant and ingenious local experience from the introverted subtleties, which calmly transits "metropolitan wonderland" into urban elegance.
CHALLENGE: In the large space, Bar, Lounge Area and Dining Area have their own characteristics, showing harmonious but different rhythm, content and style. Gray-and-white tone contrast expresses the principle of self-examination and restraint, encouraging and inspiring people to escape from their daily affairs and acquire a clearer understanding of present life from positive thinking.
