The Cropland-loop Resort

The Cropland-loop Resort

Description

The Cropland-loop Resort is a high-end hotel in the county of Chengdu, China. Its shape is defined by a large dominant roof that shelters a variety of functions, each of them housed in an individual volume. One of the main challenges of the design was to set a large-scale building in the middle of a rural cropland. Our focus shifted to the direct surroundings of the project site, where several groups of small houses have defined the region’s character for generations.


Statement of the jury

The roof structure, which is reminiscent of a strip or roofed path, stops the building from appearing austere. An interesting design aligned with local traditional architecture, which consequently fits into its surroundings harmoniously, despite its size.
