The High-End Resort at Chongzuo is Complete!

The LUX Resort and Villas is a hospitality project jointly designed by SOG design and Teamer Int. It is located in the Mingshi Countryside. A scenic spot in Daxin, Chongzuo, with beautiful natural scenery, surrounded by beautiful and unique karst landforms.

The project team confirmed the overall tone of the hotel to take the riverside secret environment as the theme, follow the principle of “natural environment first”, and present a diversified residence experience resort to visitors through Poetic planning and design. The following will be shown in three aspects: wonderland, a slow journey, and craftsmanship.

Opulent Countryside Retreat

Tropical plants can be seen everywhere in the hotel, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor life. The vast space is full of natural light, close to the river, and. It makes people feel extremely cosy and relaxed.

The guests who crossed the water from the west would walk through a quiet tree-lined road and arrive at the prologue hall without an apparent view. After entering the hotel lobby by the elevator, the view suddenly opened up through the huge viewing frame in front of visitors. Layers of mountains and jungle crossings made up the whole panoramic view.

Sitting quietly and looking far away, the semi-open lobby of the hotel is adjacent to the winding Mingshi River. The infinity pool is suspended above the Mingshi River, allowing guests to swim comfortably. Like a wonderland, guests can watch the golden sun dwindle into the night.

Additionally, the rustic design defines sophistication more diversely. The design showed the unique Asian beauty in the hotel design, extraordinarily welcoming unforgettable moments.

Infusing Tranquility

The resort consists of 56 suites and villas, where guests can dive in, bathe in the beauty of the mountains, and sleep in the picturesque scenery. There are suites with independent pools and villas with private terraces. The swimming pools were integrated into nature to embody the art of a “slow journey.”

The advanced language of Zhuang architecture is achieved by exploring the application of stone masonry and wood. The architects also adapt to local conditions to enhance the language of Zhuang architecture. To further improve it, the framework of modern architecture is used.

The choice of materials is biased towards nature. Using wood, stone, and copper, the texture and colour of the material sincerely show its nature: wood grain, earth colour, limestone grain, and the rough surface formed by stacking, etc.; walking in the building is like watching a collage by nature.

One of the architectural inspirations comes from the unique Zhuang traditional stilted buildings in tropical provinces of China. The use of materials follows the basic principles of light materials (such as glass and wood) and heavy materials (such as stone) below.
