YS Retreat
YS Retreat is a hotel interior located in a mountain village in Tibet, China. The design combines Han and Tibetan styles, using Tibetan elements as a background rather than as the main theme. Visible design gestures are kept to a minimum, leaving nature, scenery and space to the guests. Large floor-to-ceiling windows open the rooms to snow-capped mountains and lakes. Micro-cement covers the walls, and original wood is used with little decoration. Old anti-corrosion wood was polished and reused. The interior is intended to support rest and quiet reflection.
YS Retreat Hotel by Song Zhengxiang has been highlighted as a creative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. YS Retreat Hotel won the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design recognition program that celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
