The inspiration for the Narada Resort came from the European missionaries who arrived in Qingdao a hundred years ago. The designers sought to capture the essence of their journey, incorporating elements of the local culture and scenery along the way. The result is a design that tells a captivating story, showcasing the beauty of both Chinese and Western traditions.
One of the unique features of the Narada Resort is its use of materials. Stone, brushed bronze, wire art glass, mountain wood veneer, painted lacquered board, wallpaper, art paint, and art floor all come together to create a harmonious and visually stunning environment. These materials not only reflect the natural beauty of the surroundings but also add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the space.
The Narada Resort covers a total area of 40,000 square meters, with the highlight being the banquet hall. Originally, the hall could only accommodate 300 people, which was not sufficient for local banquets. However, the designers cleverly incorporated the existing banquet hall, increasing its area from 560 square meters to 680 square meters. This expansion allows the hall to now accommodate up to 420 guests, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience for all.
By seamlessly blending European and Chinese design elements, the Narada Resort creates a space that is both visually stunning and culturally rich. The interior main space continues the European language, while also incorporating Chinese style and local traditional folk culture. This fusion of styles creates a unique and captivating atmosphere that is sure to leave a lasting impression on guests.
The Narada Resort is not only a testament to the designer's creativity and vision but also a celebration of the rich history and culture of Qingdao. By combining elements of European architecture with traditional Taoist culture, the designers have created a space that is truly one-of-a-kind. The resort serves as a bridge between different cultures, inviting guests to explore and appreciate the beauty of both the East and the West.
With its breathtaking design, stunning views, and unique cultural fusion, the Narada Resort is a true masterpiece. It offers guests an unforgettable experience that celebrates the beauty of both Chinese and Western traditions. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a cultural adventure, the Narada Resort is the perfect destination.
