Neri&Hu cofounder Lyndon Neri explains how the studio referenced traditional Chinese courtyard homes in its design for a hotel, in this interview Dezeen filmed at the AHEAD Asia awards ceremony.
Tsingpu Yangzhou Retreat won awards in two categories - New Concept of the Year, and Landscaping and Outdoor Spaces - at the third AHEAD Asia awards in March, which celebrated the best in hotel and resort design across the continent.
Located in the Chinese city of Yangzhou, the 20-room hotel comprise a series of old structure that have been renovated and extended. A network of pathways creates a grid that surrounds these buildings and also frames new courtyards.
The hotel is located close to the Slender West Lake in Hanjiang, a popular tourist destination which attracts visitors with its manmade lakes.
"The design brief called for the adaptive reuse of some existing buildings close to a beautiful panoramic lake called the Silver Lake," Neri said.
In order to connect the existing structures, the Shanghai-based studio looked to a housing typology based around courtyards, typical to the Yangzhou area.

Stunning! Very elegant mix of traditional and modern styles of architecture. Above all, it looks so modest and inviting. The perfect escape. Kudos to the architect!
This is a beautiful execution of modernism and conservation. Neri is a visionary and quintessential architect ! I will love to work with him on a project that can both inspire and create the relevant change we need as humans, through architecture.
It is an impeccable landscape work. It is a great pleasure to see this work! Thank you Dezeen!
Imressive beauty, just love it
I wish the video was longer, I'd like to learn more about the project
Bravo! Excellent work! Please video show us more of the interior spaces & designs of this resort next time. I salute you & your team to convince the government to preserve and renew older but historically & culturally significant sites and buildings!

i wonder who stays at this hotel
Like a prison, yes. But it protects you from noticing the filthy environment: wellness for the eyes.
seems miserable
Hollow luxury...A person from the city escapes to this place and finds another jail...horrible
