Project Background
The Merchants Legend Club House, developed by China Merchants Shekou Beijing Company, is located in Daxing District, Beijing. Designed by G.ART Design, with interior design by Wanpin Design, the project aims to create a unique hospitality space that reflects both traditional Chinese culture and contemporary design sensibilities. The project embodies the essence of “orientalcharm,
” deeply rooted in Chinese culture, translating it into a tangible spatial experience. From the grand entrance to the intimate tea rooms, the design narrative unfolds seamlessly, captivating guests with its intricate details and thoughtful spatial planning.
Design Concept and Objectives
The design concept revolves around the harmonious fusion of “orientalcharm” with modern architectural design principles. The objective was to create a luxurious and immersive hospitality experience that celebrates cultural heritage while catering to the needs of discerning modern clientele. The design team drew inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture, art, and philosophy, reinterpreting these elements in a contemporary context. The use of natural materials, such as stone and wood, combined with refined metal accents and bespoke lighting fixtures, creates a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere.
Functional Layout and Spatial Planning
The club house features a variety of spaces designed to cater to different needs and functions. The grand entrance, with its metallic, arc-shaped ceiling, evokes a sense of grandeur and elegance. The sunken courtyard, featuring a massive “rainforesttank” and a cascading fountain, blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, creating a tranquil and immersive environment. The bar area, with its flexible glass folding doors, promotes a seamless flow between the interior and exterior spaces. The tea room provides a secluded and intimate setting for relaxation and contemplation, while the private dining areas offer a luxurious and exclusive experience for social gatherings and special events.
Exterior Design and Aesthetics
The exterior of the Merchants Legend Club House is characterized by its understated elegance and sophisticated material palette. The use of stone, wood, and metal creates a harmonious blend of textures and colors, reflecting the surrounding natural landscape. The building’s form is defined by clean lines and geometric shapes, creating a contemporary aesthetic that complements the traditional Chinese elements incorporated into the interior design.
Interior Design and Ambiance
The interior design of the Merchants Legend Club House is a masterful blend of traditional Chinese aesthetics and modern design principles. The use of natural materials, such as stone, wood, and silk, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The color palette is rich and sophisticated, with accents of gold, bronze, and deep red. Bespoke lighting fixtures, inspired by traditional Chinese lanterns and calligraphy, add a touch of elegance and drama to the spaces. The overall effect is one of understated luxury and refined sophistication.
Social and Cultural Impact
The Merchants Legend Club House is not only a luxurious hospitality destination but also a cultural hub that celebrates Chinese heritage and promotes social interaction. The design of the spaces encourages guests to engage with the rich cultural elements incorporated into the interiors. The club house provides a platform for cultural events, exhibitions, and workshops, fostering a sense of community and appreciation for traditional Chinese arts and crafts. The project aims to contribute to the cultural landscape of Beijing, attracting both local and international visitors.
