Honorable Mention




We choose Pines Forest in Changbai Mountain as the site to design our tent hotel. We make full use of the forest landform and local resources and scatter our hotel rooms around every corner in the forest, Imitating the form of how veins of leaf spreading, to provide every guest with excellent views of pine trees in all directions. We build our unit with wood-like material in the shape of spiral form, to perfectly integrate into the surroundings. We also ultilize lightweight structure to establish our rooms, avoiding damages to the environment. We strive to make our tent hotel low-carbon, mobile and sustainable.
