03. Facade strategy: the high-end feel of low-priced stone

How to have a unique temperament for an international five-star hotel is a challenge for designers. Although the cost is low, through careful design, it can still meet the requirements of low-key luxury. In the entire project, the small pillars of the triangle are the most important language. In addition to "turning the surface into line" to handle the color difference of cheap stone, what is more important is the small pillars of the triangle, giving the entire building a sense of delicacy and unique temperament. The triangular surface adds a sense of hierarchy to the facade and is rich in shadow relationships in the sunlight.

In addition to the three edges of the standard unit, the window frame is also treated as two edges, and the entire building has a unified vocabulary and consistent approach, making construction control relatively easy (it is difficult to find large curtain wall construction companies for low-cost curtain walls). The slender and powerful stone at the window frame is the greatest reflection of the delicacy of this project. The slender two sided stone window frame and the three sided slender columns form a unified and varied rhythm.

Fine stone pieces, if assembled at a conventional 45 degree angle, will have many notches and expose the interface directly to the outside. In node design, two pieces of stone are spliced using a 90 degree half bite joint, utilizing the hardness of the granite itself to form a small groove, rather than blindly pursuing difficult to achieve "sharpness".
