Sleepy Panda
Best City Hotel
Xu-Dong Lai
Chengdu, Sichuan province, China
The project is located in Shuiyanhe Street, Chengdu city, Sichuan Province. It was initially an office building built in the 1980s in the family area of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Enterprise. Limited to the original building's complete brick-concrete structure, it cannot be rebuilt. The project is two kilometers away from Taikoo Li. It adds a visually contrasting color and a trendy style like ancient Chinese, destined to be the haunt of young consumer groups.
Above the canopy, there are several modes of white eye panda designed by the commissioned sculptors, charmingly naive, and enlarge the difference with each street black and white panda, more conducive to the place clock-in and clever metaphor: good sleep goodbye to dark circles at hotel.
