I want to dream in this rainbow room on the first day of the long holiday.

On the first day of work after the festival, Nimeng is still immersed in a wonderful trip. I can't believe the longest holiday of the year just passed. I didn't have enough ducks at all!

Once upon a time, travel was about watching flowers and clocking in scenic spots, but now what people want to pursue is the memory of the city. Shaoyao travels, likes to stroll in some unknown alleys, live in the most authentic accommodation, to understand the lives of ordinary people.

Yang Yang, a friend of Shaoyao, said that travelers should be like explorers of the city. So his hotel, Hitel, is also full of explorer temperament. Today, we will follow Yang Yang to explore the local flavor and urban temperament of Xiamen.

The taste of city

"if you also think that you don't need to rush out and clock in every day, maybe in a familiar and unfamiliar city, lounging in bed, having a casual meal, watching a movie, lounging on the sofa and listening to a song, reading a useless little book."

This passage, Shaoyao is seen in Hitel, it said, "if a comfortable life can also be the meaning of travel, then Hitel accompanies you to explore."

Xiamen has never been short of literary, fresh and personalized accommodation, but Shaoyao was shocked when it saw Hitel for the first time, as if an area of the brain had been suddenly emptied.

Hitel is directly related to Xiamen, but it is incompatible with the temperament of Xiamen Wenqing. It is a strange existence with a great sense of unreality.

When the sun is shining during the day

Maybe you can meet a rainbow in some room.

At night, the daylighting canister steals the light

The silver building became the white moonlight.

The building is interspersed with more than a dozen daylighting cylinders.

It's like setting up a dozen binoculars.

Look into space and explore the universe.

The most incredible thing is

There is also food that floats indoors.

Spatially, it is no longer a whole wall, a well-behaved window.

There are many triangles, squares and semicircles

During the trial operation, it was regarded as an amusement park by the children.

The direction of an ordinary hotel is usually one line, one way.

In Hitel, there is no single closed route.

There are elevators in the middle of the corridor and stairs on both sides.

There are many possibilities of walking.

The hotel area is divided into Hi Space,

Hi Kitchen, Hi Store and guest rooms.

Hi Space is a person with its own cultural tendency.

Urban exhibition space

There will be a very interesting exhibition here.

Hi Kitchen is the hotel restaurant, Bar.

Sleep until you wake up naturally

Or go to the seaside to watch the sunrise.

Enjoy a good-looking breakfast in the restaurant.

Hi Store is the store of the hotel

If you check in

Which artifacts can be bought here?

There will be room products from Hitel.

There are also some brand products of independent designers.

Shaoyao originally thought that the person who could make this kind of hotel must be a strange man of science and technology who only cared about the universe and data and scoffed at literature and art and life. But after seeing Yang Yang, I found that he had not only the reason of a man of science and technology, but also the heart of literature and art given to him by Xiamen.

As a native of Xiamen, he seldom lives in other cities for a long time. I believe you also know that mountains, lakes, seas, islands, cities and gardens can travel as soon as he leaves home.

Yang Yang's favorite is Jimei Village, where he was born and raised, and the beauty of mountains and rivers endowed him with a thick humanistic temperament. The university is in the computer Department of Xiamen University, studying e-commerce. After dropping out, he joined a clothing company as an assistant to the general manager.

After 6 years of working time, I had a good understanding of a company's structure, brand operation, etc., and then decided to start my own business.

During this period, the studio moved to two places, both of which were designed and decorated by an illustrator partner. She felt that she was about to become a space designer and wanted to do residential accommodation.

When I went to choose the site for the first time, I found Dongping Mountain, near the lake, and chickens and ducks were running around the mountain roads. the city center was so wild that Yang Yang liked it very much.

In 2014, they teamed up with several partners to create "Ciao Camellia". Seven different rooms, art, mountain forest and moonlight, were all accepted.

The original studio, hidden in a villa community not far from Pearl Harbor, is quiet and convenient. Yang Yang has been reluctant to give up, so he has also used it as a residential accommodation-- "can live" in a living hostel, simple and comfortable, and warm in a small fresh place.

You can live.

"five points to the boss, design taste watch", "great-looking accommodation, I couldn't take my eyes off when I was going to book it." the feedback on being able to live was surprisingly good, and he felt that he was quite suitable for the combination of space and products. I'm looking forward to the next work.

In particular, many of the initial ideas of "livable" have not been realized due to space constraints.

You can live.

When choosing the location of the new store, that is, when selecting the site for Hitel, Yang Hanxiang, the "old thing king", introduced a place where they had just moved to the new park, and there was only the last one left. As a matter of fact, it has been rented out, but the other party has not fulfilled the contract, so it is vacant again.

Huamei cigarette Factory, Huli Old Industrial Zone, Xiamen

Built in the 1980s, it covers an area of 3000 square feet.

Not in the scenic area, can't see the sea view

The surroundings also seem to have nothing to do with a little freshness.

They are all old residential and industrial areas.

Some people worry that the occupancy rate is not high.

On the contrary, he felt that there was no noise, ordinary streets, places of fireworks. Not in the scenic spot, but not far from anywhere, it can be said to be the central position.

At first sight of the old factory building, he thought it was an ordinary building, but it was the right size and location. Some long-span column-free spaces, white and green mosaic exterior walls. Later, it was found that there was a different hole in it.

After reading the works of designer Tang Jiansong, Yang Yang decided to choose him.

"in terms of transformation, there are only two ways, one is to preserve as much as possible, and the other is to destroy as much as possible."

Mosaics on the exterior walls, fire stairs, and some pipes, although there are not many old things left behind, are very useful. Finally, except for the building structure itself, every space is brand new.

Spent two years, repeatedly adjusted a lot of places, trimmed no less than a dozen times, paint decoration boss was almost driven crazy, nothing to strike. He had no choice but to bully and seduce him, give him all kinds of ideas and change them slowly.

Is the air conditioner panel on the inside or in the wardrobe?

Would you like a workbench?

Door handle, semicircle made of aluminum

It is very difficult, proofing many times.

The details of the room have been discussed no less than a hundred times.

As for the original inspiration of the hotel

There are more than a dozen daylighting cylinders from the old factory building.

Set up a ten-meter circular super telescope indoors.

Looking at the end of the universe, is Htel.

After the completion of the hotel, it will be separated from the single Nordic wind area.

Still fresh and simple

But the whole space is more interesting and science fiction.

Yang Yang is not a science fiction fan. The sense of science fiction presented by Hitel is just an attempt to explore the unknown of the journey and the way of life in a new city, trying to provide travelers with a dual experience of living in different places and local culture, such as living, dining, reading and exhibitions, which are different from The Legacy Hotel and residential accommodation.

So in Hitel, there are also two magazines, one "Hi Art" and one self-written "Hi City". In the spare time of the hotel, I flip through "Hi Art" and feel the artistic charm.

If you want to go out and play, look through "Hi City", which contains the real memory and flavor of Xiamen, as well as a letter from home written by Lu Xun to Xu Guangping when he first arrived in Xiamen, reading between the lines, feeling the Xiamen in Lu Xun's eyes.

We always thought it would be good if the hotel could see the most beautiful scenery in the area. If you are in Lijiang, the best hotel is to see Yulong Snow Mountain; if you are in Hangzhou, the best is to see the West Lake.

In fact, a hotel is a scene. The reason why it is named Hitel is in the hope that in the hotel, as long as a relaxed greeting Hi, it is full of rich possibilities.
