byal honors at the 10th Jinwaitan Award
byal is delighted to announce that The Spring Legend in Guangzhou was awarded respectively Best Landscape Design (honorable mention) at 10th Jinwaitan Awards. The award is renowned for being the Oscars in design field within China. It aims to develop and promote design business in China and introduce Chinese new design projects to the whole world. There have been nine Jin Waitan Awards held since it began, lots of excellent young architects succeed at it with their lasted magnificent projects.
The Spring Legend is located at a mountainous region at Conghua in Guangzhou, next to Liuxi River, Shimen and Tianhu Forest Park. Driving on the two-kilometer-long private road leading to villas area keeps you away from the bustling crowd of the city. Spreading across 57,000㎡, the whole project is themed with leisure vacation, while integrating the hot springs into architecture. The hotel is the result of meticulous research and careful planning- - many field visits were conducted to understand the geographical characteristics of the area and experts were engaged to see how the development can restore the natural environment while establishing an intra-regional self-balancing ecosystem.
The best interpretation of The Spring Legend is "in an elevation of 156 meters, with radon soda springs in your house. It is a true natural miracle!"
Modern and simple, with a Chinese touch, the architectural design is blends in with its surroundings. The effort to recycle solar energy and rain, the large doors and windows are to allow fresh air, great views and optimal daylight to play an important part in the project.
We use raw materials from the region and meticulously researched the environment to restore the natural ecosystem. The height difference of the area was carefully studied in designing the villas and other constructions. Each villa merges seamlessly into the mountain area and can therefore enjoy the best scenery. The receding terraces on where the villas are built create a space for natural outdoor hot spring, bringing the natural environment to your everyday life.
Apart from Best Landscape Design, byal has already won Creative Design Award at the 9th Jinwaitan Award in 2014. For more details, please refer to the report of The 9th Jinwaitan Award Ceremony http://www.benyeung.com.cn/en/info-detail.php?InfoId=18.
