BLUE creates BAN Villa hotel in the Chinese countryside

Beijing-based BLUE Architecture Studio has completed a nature-infused, riverside hotel that resembles a "small floating village from a distance".
The BAN Villa project is located in the Jijiadun Village in the city of Kunshan, which lies about 1.5 hours by car from Shanghai. The area sits within a geographic region known as Jiangnan.
The BAN Villa hotel is surrounded on three sides by waterways
Designed by BLUE Architecture Studio – which stands for Beijing Laboratory for Urban Enviro
