Senranxiye Homestay
Project Description
Senranxiye Homestay constructs an idyllic retreat through symbiotic coexistence with nature, framed through an artistic lens. Drawing inspiration from the Buddhist-Daoist essence of Tiantai Mountain and unfolding along the poetic Zhèxi Creek, the architecture manifests a contemplative duality of "half landscape, half Zen" rooted in Eastern aesthetics.
The homestay skillfully applies the Eastern "scenery borrowing" technique to guide guests into a serene Zen-inspired spiritual realm. Every detail conveys the emotional connection between humans, nature, and Eastern aesthetics. The sunken courtyard gymnasium seamlessly integrates functionality with landscape appreciation.
Guest rooms incorporate the beauty of nature, documenting the cycle of four seasons to experience the charm of nature and time.
The courtyard design with "a scene at every step" reflects the designer's comprehension of Zen philosophy, life, and the universe, becoming an external expression of their inner world.
