Blending heritage and innovation, this boutique hotel transforms a 70-year-old hospital near Yueyang Tower into a poetic and immersive retreat. Through structural reinforcement, spatial reorganization, and thoughtful use of local materials, the design preserves historical textures while introducing refined modern luxury. Inspired by Dongting Lake’s natural and cultural landscape, it weaves together light, circulation, and narrative to create a sustainable, emotionally resonant space rooted in memory, place, and human connection.
