The Temple House, hotel, Chengdu

摘要

Located in the heart of Chengdu is The Temple House, a 'historically rich' hotel as designed by British architecture practice Make Architects. An ancient city, Chengdu today is one of China's major metropolises and centre of finance and commerce. The Temple House hotel owner - Swire Hotels - wanted to capitalise on the area's rich history as the design inspiration. The hotel experience had to be a unique one; differing from those in other major Chinese cities such as Hong Kong or Beijing. It had to be inclusive to the area and offer comforts that were not only luxurious, but 'visually and atmospherically innovative'.
