Guestroom with a view of nature
Hotel with an appropriate environment
Increase in value

Aventree Hotel is located at the top of Wengjiashan Mountain, one of the world heritage sites and a landmark in Hangzhou. Wengjiashan sits on the southwest bank of West Lake and commands a panoramic view of the lake and tea fields.

The hotel’s cozy design and operational philosophy is based upon combining elements of Hangzhou’s scenery, nature, and science. The room fee includes all the amenities and dining for guests. The room is supplied with the latest magazines, as well as drinks and fruits. The hotel restaurant “MaiMai” provides a wide array of cocktails and afternoon tea, while also accepting group reservations and events.

Along the way up, guests are treated to beautiful scenes of tea fields as they enter the hotel. However, the current layout of dozens of similar villas sitting next to each other might feel too urban for our guests, dampening their ability to fully enjoy nature.
The current renovation project is aimed to surround the current hotel with trees and link our guests on the top of the mountain to the forest at the foothill with a convenient trail. Guests will be delighted to find that they can be surrounded by natures charm with only a few short steps from where they rest.
The client would like to keep the origin floor and space plans. Although each room’s plan is different, FFE including bed, storage, and washstand are designed with common elements. On the other hand, lightings are designed to be mounted in furniture to achieve the minimum use of downlight.
We focused on the “downhill” and “existing roof”, also we aimed to increase the value of the hotel by including the surroundings and fusing it in the design.
