NINGBO INTERNATIONAL RESORT
An international Resort with a water front beautiful scenery located in Ningbo, China.
Intro
Last year, I had the pleasure of designing a resort near Ningbo University, a project close to my heart. Nestled along the waterfront, the site's scenic beauty inspired careful consideration in the design process. The focal point is a main building housing regular guest bedrooms, including both single and double-bed accommodations, alongside the addition of ten charming individual villas.

The primary focus of this design was optimizing sunlight exposure and lake views for guest bedrooms and villas while ensuring efficient circulation. Achieving an effective solution involved multiple adjustments to the site's form. Initial steps included marking entrances, creating open spaces in the middle for external functions, and strategically rotating building levels to introduce diversity, later utilized for rooftop gardens in the villas.
To enhance lake views, a combination of terraces and balconies was employed, providing depth and panoramic perspectives. The design also incorporated diverse materials for contrast and visual appeal. Additionally, a thoughtful selection of plants and trees contributed to a natural ambiance, fostering both a sense of privacy and environmental harmony.
Technology
Creating a good circulation system is essential for any site design. By using a combination of pathways, stairs, and ramps, I was able to create a sense of flow and provide easy access to the different areas of the site. Pathways are the most common form of circulation, and they provide a direct route from one area to another. Stairs are a great way to add vertical circulation, allowing people to move between different levels of the site. Ramps are also a great way to provide access to areas that may not be accessible by stairs.

In addition to the pathways, stairs, and ramps, I also used a variety of materials to create a sense of contrast and to add visual interest to the design. For example, I used different colours of stone and brick to create a patterned effect, and I used different textures of wood and metal to create a more dynamic look. I also used plants and other natural elements to create a sense of harmony and to add a touch of nature to the design.
