Phoenix Art Museum, Hangzhou

As aggregate of literary youth and trendy design studios, the hotel is located in Hangzhou scenic area. The focus and highlight of the project is how to transform the interior of a completed office building into a hotel space. The hotel is called Art-seum (meaning Art+ Museum) because we do not want to embed traditional business hotel look into a particular incongruous position. We started from the regional formats and social function of the hotel location itself, our design intend is to provide a library of different type of art for this literary trend, and accommodation is treated as an additional feature.
Our aim is to let the guests forget that this is a hotel but rather a museum of art and knowledge. We used names coming from art and museum for different functional area of the hotel, which included music, comics and design. The lighting design of the hotel lobby and guest rooms were borrowed from the lighting form and lighting level of the library.
In order to achieve the strong sense of home and unusual living experience for the guest, the hotel collaborates with Hangzhou Central Library and becoming their district library. Any guest can borrow and return books either in the hotel while they checkout or returning it to the Central Library later on or vice versa.
