Like a strip between the mountains and the sea, the site is at the end of a new tourist development area of Huidong City. The program is composed of service apartments and a five-star hotel. The concept is to create a land of interactions between the natural elements, so the service apartments become mountains and the five-star hotel becomes a sea shell. Those identities are given by playing with the curves of the balconies of the different buildings.
