Mylines Love Poetry Hotel

As consumers pursue higher quality in leisure and capital continues to flow into the hotel industry, the lovers hotel has begun to develop at scale in China. Yet existing buildings and interiors of this type often go astray, using a single scenario and piling up blunt erotic symbols, limiting the interior to the effort of satisfying guests need to sleep, and ignoring the interesting non-sleep experience of a couple's stay. For reasons that are unclear, hotel design based on the most fundamental human needs of body and behaviour has rarely been seriously thought through. The interior design of the Mylines Love Poetry Hotel aims to redefine the concept of the lovers hotel. Located by West Lake in Hangzhou, it covers a site of 9,000 square metres with a building area of 2,200 square metres, and is an interior renovation of an existing building complex. The design is not intended only for stimulation but to satisfy four parallel and indispensable needs: ease, romance, release and passion, allowing couples to return to themselves. The 33 rooms are classified from the standpoint of primal human desire, defining six basic types: narcissism, accumulation, exhibition, fantasy, sadism and romance. Through the control of five variables, outer interface, inner interface, size, plan arrangement and sound-and-light effect, the spatial environment stimulates and guides the user's primal desire, allowing it to be autonomously magnified and released. Primal desire, narcissism. Narcissism is the origin of human primal desire. In this primal-desire space, the mirror is no longer merely for dressing. The project is a research-driven hotel that treats sexuality as a serious design programme, using atmospheric control rather than literal decoration to produce a range of emotional settings for couples.
