Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects (ALYA)

The Yun Lu (Cloud House) is a boutique eco-resort nestled within a village between Guilin and Yangshuo and situated along the dramatic landscape of the Li River. The site consists of five renovated historical farm houses and one new addition which functions as a restaurant and the main gathering space for hotel guests. Taking on a sensitive approach to the local culture with villagers still living nearby, the overall planning and landscape design worked into the original village structure without creating new boundary conditions to the villagers . The spatial dialogue and sense of continuity between the old and the new buildings maintain a order of symbiosis between the foreign (hotel) and the local (village).
