Project Brief

Located at “Calligraphy Greenway”, on the emerging art district at mid-west area in Taichung City, the Calligraphy Greenway Hotel is surrounded by cultural-style buildings, artistic groups, and greenery trees. The hotel is closely connected to the native culture, trying to create a unique and long-lasting atmosphere by maintaining the specific style of space, and showing the streams of people. The hotel presents the pure LOFT style throughout adjustable lighting, woodworks, leathers, and ironworks.

Project Need

Different from the traditional tall and grandiloquent hotel styles, “Calligraphy Greenway Hotel” puts an emphasis on the mechanisms of “small” and “surrounded” that demonstrating the decorations details, strengthening the integral atmosphere, attracting visitors, and differentiating the common recognitions about time.

Design Challenge

Inside the hotel, people can enjoy the moment of quietness by means of the gray-black walls, concentrate lightings, wide French windows, sophisticate views, and restored furnishings. There are 19 styles of rooms in the hotel, in which each style is named by poker, the way bringing to visitors the memory and imagination of urbane life by means of the most straightforward experiences. By accentuating the core value of simple quality and intimate relationship, the designer creates the space characteristics according to the numbers of guests and functionalities of rooms.
