Situated in Dong’an South Road, Chengdu, SFEEL Designer Hotel TaiKoo Li is steeped in the historical essence of one of the city’s oldest areas. Surrounded by landmarks like Chunxi Road and Shuijingfang, the locale reflects the juxtaposition of tradition and modernity, with remnants of old Chengdu flavor coexisting alongside contemporary developments like Taikoo Li, 339, and Lan Guifang.
Architectural Transformation
The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the decorative flower walls of Chengdu’s aged residential buildings, leveraging deconstruction techniques to reimagine these elements. Through innovative spatial division and composition, the hotel’s ambiance is infused with a sense of heritage and renewal.
Spatial Dynamics
The interplay between guest rooms and atrium corridors is orchestrated through glass and horizontal windows, creating a dynamic dialogue between spaces. Oblique cutting techniques soften spatial transitions, while black mirrored walls blur boundaries, evoking an ethereal sense of reality.
Atrium Design
Detailed atrium design disrupts conventional continuity, employing cutting and boundary-breaking techniques to create a sense of incompleteness. Each architectural connection stands independently, symbolizing the unresolved tension between old and new urban landscapes.
Guest Room Experience
Guest rooms are meticulously planned to harmonize with the architectural context, offering three distinct experiences: the riverside swimming pool room, the courtyard-facing garden view room, and the terrace-adjacent garden room.
- The swimming pool room maximizes panoramic river views while filtering light through Shangri La curtains, fostering tranquility.
- Garden view rooms integrate indoor and outdoor spaces, framing courtyard landscapes through carefully curated window views. This framed perspective encourages contemplation and immersion in the soothing greenery.
Through its thoughtful integration of traditional elements with contemporary design principles, SFEEL Designer Hotel TaiKoo Li offers guests a unique sensory experience that celebrates Chengdu’s rich cultural heritage amidst its evolving urban landscape.
