The Lalu Qingdao

The architectural aesthetics of the Lalu Qingdao

The Lalu Qingdao is designed by the international architect, Kerry Hill Starting with the Lalu Sun Moon Lake, the Lalu hotel chain has established itself with a minimalistic and Zen-like architectural style. Kerry Hill may be Australian, but he is deeply attuned to the eastern aesthetics of fusing human and nature as one. Savor all details of the Lalu Qingdao, and one will discover that it utilizes four natural, low-key materials: logs, granite, glass, and metals to create a building as if it’s “born” out of nature. This kind of construction will not appear old and worn out as time goes by, but instead its value will be seen and grow with time.

Order and Change

Over here, what is most deeply felt is a sense of order. Subtly and gently, designers change our habits and instill in us ideas about life for us to maintain our rationality. Over here, you can savor tea, read a book, or simply space out, which are all relaxing, pleasant, non-oppressive or purpose-driven, and yet can extract us from daily complex demands allowing us to enjoy the ease of a slow-paced life.
The Lalu Qingdao is designed as such that one will never be tired of it visually. Large-scale designs interplay with varying eye lines in any given circumstances. As such, seated on the same spot, the viewer can often receive varying visual content. The twists and turns in the floor plan layout make it less straightforward to get familiarized with the space, and therefore you cannot be tired or bored with the space. Plus seasonal changes in the landscape. The Lalu is like a magic box always full of unexpected surprises.
