Yuxi decayed lodge with the home stay facility

Lanshansu Seaview Homestay sits in the Xiaowan homestay cluster on Fuxian Lake, in Chengjiang County, Yuxi, on a three-mu plot owned by Yuxi Lanshansu Hotel Management. The brief, led by Liu Sitang, Jing Xuchu, Jiang Yingqiang, Wang Chunyi, Li Quanjiang and Zhou Linhua, emphasizes a generous courtyard and close dialogue between architecture, ventilation, daylight and landscape. The hospitality industry today is flooded with formal novelty driven by consumer taste, but the designers insist that a successful product must fuse geography, location, culture, playfulness and differentiation. The project is a conversion of an existing farmer house of brick-and-concrete structure, which imposed real constraints; nevertheless the team worked to give every room the best possible view, making beautiful Fuxian Lake itself part of the room and producing an organic link between interior and exterior so that the landscape is fully visible. The design deliberately rejects both ancient tradition and pure modernism: traditional materials are combined with contemporary expression, and totems and symbols are highly distilled rather than applied literally, so that walking through the building feels natural and inevitable. There is no grandeur and no clutter, only sun, air, landscape and the company of ones companions.
