Qingli Hotel of Weizhou Island in Guangxi Province
Qingli Hotel is a renovation project built by the people in a fishing village.With the sea view as the main element, the leisure experience space facing the sea is constructed. Between the needs of urban tourists and the reality of rural life, the design expresses respect for the continuity of local communities and expectations for future changes in the countryside.
Qingli Hotel has a clean and neat shape.In the interior renovation, the architect deliberately displays the materials of the house itself, and reveals the process of folk construction after a little beautification. The plain concrete ceilings and columns are painted with varnish, which not only has a delicate effect, but also shows the rough traces of fishermen's construction. The superposition and contrast between the fine and extensive form the main tone of the whole architectural design performance.
With a simple and colorful method, this "architectless building" has become a more cultural and aesthetic space for the city through the intervention and Enlightenment of design. From the hotel appearance effect, it can be said that it has the so-called "modern sense" to a considerable extent. With these prudent and clear handling, the fisherman's self-built house has become a building that can satisfy functions, carry meaning, reflect value and echo lifestyle through materials, colors, texture and space, and even evoke the "fashion" and "minimalism" tastes sought by tourists.
Rural construction and development from the perspective of tourism often regards life and construction before rural modernization and urbanization as a model of "nature" and "warmth". People fleeing the city, in such an environment which is separated from the current reality, get a short breath from the noise and alienation of the city.
Between leisure, sightseeing, village residence and life, Qingli Hotel is confronted with the reality of collage and juxtaposition of urban and rural dual world. In Weizhou Island at the end of the world, the small Qingli Hotel also feels the impact of urbanization, showing the desire and impulse of people moving forward in the modern process.
