FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lotus Resort of Jiuhua Mountain

Renowned designer Kevin Hu, along with Vivi Zhang, has unveiled the Lotus Resort of Jiuhua Mountain, a Zen tourism town located in the core of the south side of the Dayuan Cultural Park in Jiuhua Mountain scenic area, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, China. The project is a Zen house integrating various functions such as heart-building, self-cultivation, meeting, and learning, offering a unique space for spiritual and leisure experiences.

Situated in an open site surrounded by the mountains, the exterior of the building is covered with a wide layer of water, while the interior functional space is distributed around the lotus pond to create a buffer zone and viewing distance among the pedestrians. The architecture uses modern techniques that incorporate large amounts of local materials like brick, tile, wood, and stone, creating a natural and peaceful world.

Each area of the project is filled with Chinese traditions and local characteristics, with the lighting installation of the entrance reception hall decorated with a unique bamboo shape, originally created by a Taiwanese artist. The space is commonly used for lectures, Zen meditation, tea or flower ceremonies, and other public activities related to Buddhism.

The Lotus Resort of Jiuhua Mountain is a powerful attempt to integrate into the Jiuhua Mountain and the international tourism and culture demonstration zone of southern Anhui province, reflecting the fusion of local cultural history and contemporary space design.
