YANG's Haitang Bay No.9 Resort Sanya: A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

Golden A' Design Award Winner Combines Chinese Style with Tropical Island Charm

YANG's Haitang Bay No.9 Resort Sanya, a resort hotel design that perfectly blends contemporary Chinese style with tropical island charm, has won the prestigious Golden A' Design Award. This article explores the unique features and inspirations behind this award-winning design.

The design of Haitang Bay No.9 Resort Sanya is inspired by the unique Li ethnic culture of Hainan. YANG, the designer, has transformed traditional peasant working tools, such as the rice-pounding bucket, into modern decorative elements. These elements are cleverly incorporated into the lobby reception counter's background, creating a striking contrast with the giant cage-like decorative lamp.

The Li embroidery pattern, a significant cultural symbol, is abstractly represented in modern decorative shapes and used extensively throughout the resort. From the flooring and wall-coverings to the furniture and carpets, these patterns add a rich regional cultural touch to the design.

What sets this design apart is its successful combination of contemporary Chinese style with the charm of a tropical island. The resort employs a simple and vivid design method, with green as the theme color. This color choice complements the overall bright, warm, and simple color tone of the resort.

The characteristics of tropical architecture, gardening, and seashore are organically integrated with the interior design. The inclusion of Li ethnic culture elements further enhances the resort's unique Pan-oriental southern Asian resort feature.

The design's uniqueness and innovative approach have not gone unnoticed. In 2016, Haitang Bay No.9 Resort Sanya was awarded the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award. This award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. They are venerated products and bright ideas that advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.

In conclusion, YANG's Haitang Bay No.9 Resort Sanya is a testament to the power of design in bridging the gap between tradition and modernity. It is a shining example of how design can be used to celebrate and preserve cultural heritage while also pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity.
