PROJECT REPORT: HOTELS, RESTAURANTS & BARS
The designs “go into the ground as much as they are coming out of it”
Nature & sustainabilty As part of the overall masterplan, the design team took on the role of landscape architects for the resort. From the outset, their emphasis has been on enhancing the features of the quarry to resemble a natural landscape. “You wouldn’t say it looks like an old quarry,” says Zhao, “it’s almost like the UK’s Lake District.” To achieve this result, the team incorporated a variety of indigenous plants and trees into the scheme. As well as reducing the resort’s embodied carbon footprint, this also minimises maintenance, says Zhao, while helping the building tie in with the local nature. Part of the landscape design will also feature lakeside campsites as well as scenic walks. In addition to these features, a substantial 20,000 m2 ‘family park’ has been proposed. CPMG has also been involved in its design, which includes a large play area which will provide an exciting and enjoyable space for visitors of all ages.

The resort has integrated sustainability into its design by adopting a range of ‘eco- regenerative’ design measures. While the designs haven’t undergone a certification process, the scheme incorporates “key principles” of sustainable design including various elements reportedly designed to Passivhaus levels. With the region’s climate being subtropical, the focus wasn’t on the heating the buildings, and was primarily about keeping them cool, while controlling humidity. As solar gains are a “real issue” in this area of China, says Flisher, CPMG has included shading measures to the buildings, along with MVHR systems to ensure air quality.“We also had to introduce cooling systems because in the summer temperatures can get extremely hot,” says Flisher. CPMG are a practice that strives to apply Passivhaus elements in their projects, but it has been done on a case-by-case basis in this project. “We look at every building type and see what elements are relevant, and
