Layered timber screens
A visible feature to consider alongside your own programme, users and operating requirements.
HOTEL / Design reference
Shangri-La Nanning
The visualisations combine timber screens, large furniture groups and carefully framed light. The public room has a strong vertical presence, while the guestroom scenes shift toward lower, more intimate arrangements. Treating the material as a design reference, the useful lesson is how to establish continuity between the large arrival experience and the smaller scale of a private stay.

FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT
Turn inspiration into a clear brief.
The guest journey
Consider the sequence from arrival and welcome to dining, movement and the guestroom. The visual atmosphere should continue through everyday moments, not rely on a single impressive photograph.
Public and private scale
Define where the stay should feel social and where it should feel restful. Room mix, furniture layouts, lighting controls and housekeeping access all influence how the design is experienced.
Operator requirements
Include the operator’s standards, opening strategy, service paths and maintenance needs in the brief. The reference is an aesthetic and spatial discussion tool; it does not establish a finished specification for a different hotel.
