Aoxin Holiday Hotel

This image presents a grand interior lobby space viewed from a low vantage point, scanning from foreground to background through multiple architectural layers. Beginning in the immediate foreground, a series of wide horizontal steps constructed from grey marble with subtle white veining ascends toward the viewer's position, their surfaces appearing smooth and cool like polished river stone. The step edges are illuminated by small recessed lights creating warm pools of amber glow against the predominantly cool grey surroundings. Moving upward from the steps, a broad platform of similar grey marble extends toward a central vertical white column, approximately square in cross-section, that rises the full height of the double-story space and divides the composition nearly in half. This column appears smooth and bright, like fresh plaster or painted concrete, creating a luminous vertical accent. To the left of the central column, an elegant staircase ascends at an angle toward the upper level, its treads integrated with small step lights and bordered by a delicate railing system of thin vertical metal posts with a warm brass-toned handrail. Large glass vessels containing candles rest on the stair landing, suggesting soft warm light. The walls throughout the space are clad in rectangular stone panels in varying shades of grey, from warm brownish-taupe to cool slate, arranged in an irregular pattern that creates visual texture like a carefully composed stone tapestry. To the right portion of the composition, a striking sculptural element commands attention: a large arch form finished in warm golden metal, its curved surface catching light to create gradations from bright yellow-gold to deeper amber shadow. The ceiling appears flat and white with recessed downlights. In the middle distance, furniture groupings and additional architectural details suggest lounging and reception areas bathed in accent spotlights that create starbursts in the image.

The hotel is located in Luzhou, Sichuan Province, a city well known for its wine, whose design is inspired by the local wine cave, a space that evokes a strong desire to explore. The lobby is the reconstruction of a natural cave, whose related visual connection extends the concept of the cave and the local urban texture to the internal hotel, thus forming a distinctive cultural carrier. Designers value the passenger's feeling when staying in the hotel, and also hope that the texture of the material as well as the created atmosphere can be perceived on a deeper level.
