The Research Of Hilly Areas Boutique Resort Design

Boutique resort hotel is a hotel contains user-friendly service facilities withdelightful environment based on favourable natural scenes. It is often endowed withlocal cultural characteristics and unique historical memory, what makes it anextraordinary example. In recent years, along with the transition of tour mode-fromthe traditional sightseeing to leisure tour-resort hotel gradually matures in China.As mountainous area accounts for two thirds of the land area in China, resorthotel could have huge prospects for development. Because people see “mountain” as asymbol of worship or fear subconsciously, natural landscape in mountainous area hadunique charm, which gives boutique resort hotel in mountainous area big advantage.However, what muse be realised is that resort hotel design in hilly area in China atpresent, especially combining design with unique test and local element, could bebetter. Or in another way, simplifying the design by utilising method used on flat areaand destroying original landform, which would lead to unbalance and disharmony.This thesis will begin with the history and development of resort hotel,understanding the concept and character of resort hotel, which will lead to the newtrend of it: boutique resort hotel. Then, the feature of mountainous area and itsinfluence to resort hotel will be analysed from regional perspective. After that, basedon case studies, an analysis of strategies of designing resort hotel in mountainous areawill be made and then forming certain design methodology. Furthermore, someinnovative computer aided designing method used on resort hotel designing inmountainous area will be introduced combining existing examples. At last, an analysisof the designing process of Culture Creative Industry Park of Wuling will becompleted and summing up the experience of it, to offer a reference to peers, andprovide related design strategies for both design practice and further research onresort hotel in mountainous area.
