About Bodu Resort Hotel
Bodu Resort is a resort hotel located in Xishuangbanna, China. The hotel stands on a cliff forty meters above the ground and faces a rubber forest and a tropical rain forest. A suspended glass box extends from the building toward the surrounding trees and opens the interior to the landscape. Teak and old elm form the main structure. Brick, stone and woven bamboo, common in local villages, echo the regional culture. Local materials were selected to reflect local color and texture. The project covers 4000 square meters.

- Production Technology
- In terms of material selection, the designer hopes that each project can draw on local materials. The project needs to seek contact with local color and texture, and show the local feeling of architectural space with national color.
- Design Challenge
- The benign interaction among architecture, interior and nature is the most important and the most difficult in the whole design work.
- Research
- Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna is a special place. First, it is close to the border. Second, it has warm and pure ethnic customs. Therefore, the designer also hopes that the hotel can reflect more contemporary in this strong regional situation, so this case is different from other projects.
- Inspiration
- The hotel is located on a cliff 40 meters away from the ground, embracing thousands of mu of forest in Xishuangbanna, enjoying the mild and humid climate of Southeast Asia and containing rich and diverse ethnic customs. Although the designer has profound experience in hotel design before, how to let people enjoy the unique experience brought by space is his eternal thinking and theme.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2017 in Xishuangbanna and finished in December 2019 in Xishuangbanna.
- Operation Flow
- This building space uses teak and old elm as the main structure, as well as the brick and stone bamboo weaving mechanism commonly used in local villages to echo the regional culture.
