Meijie Mountain Resort Villa

Originality, Ingeniousness, transparency and delicacy are all words that describe the Meijie Mountain Resort Villa. It won the WAN Awards in 2017 and the jury acknowledged it as the benchmark for sustainable design.

The resort is immersed in the heart of Longtan Forest, the city’s most beautiful natural spot. Four natural elements were combined in this project: forest, tree houses, hot springs and mountains. The 31 tree houses are cleverly set so that they blur as much as possible into the Nanshan jungle and were all built with natural materials. The resort provides pools of hot springs that flow along the mountains carrying clear and mild water. These pools were also made independently from one another, to ensure the visitants’ privacy. The overall feedback given by the occupants is that the resort has a fresh, natural and cozy vibe.

The Meijie Mountain Resort Villa is suitable for commercial gatherings and ecological tourism, as visitors are choosing to celebrate and reward a resort that follows green principles over others that don’t.
