RESEARCH ABSTRACT: BLVD researched the city, hotel type, hotel brand to create a unique resort city hotel in a high rise modern building became different from other hotels in Sanya. Studies of the forms of geography and nature, local tools to turn into our own design language by the use of materials, textures, and color tone palette. Our goal was to give travelers a Resort experience but reflecting the spirit of Hyatt place city Hotel. We experimented using complicated material to create the forms but discovered the simple clean design language became a better solution giving delightful experiences.
CHALLENGE: Most people consider Sanya as a vacation resort but Hyatt Place is defined as a relaxing and business hotel. How to distinguish the business hotel with local characteristics from others in the tourism-driven city is one of the challenges we have encountered. In specific design, we used moisture and mildew resistant materials since Sanya has tropical maritime monsoon climate.
