The house
ArtyzenArchitectural forest manifesto
Modernist pavilions scatter across wooded hillsides, drawing architecture lovers into a quiet landscape of bold geometry and lakeside forest paths.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Geometric color blocking, primary hues, and striated skylights define the experimental parkland architectural pavilions.
Notable
An austere, light-filled spa and an indoor heated pool framing views of wooded glens.
Notable
A lakeside forest retreat pairing outdoor courts and villa grounds with immediate art museum access.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked inside Laoshan National Forest Park along Foshou Lake, the grounds connect directly to the Sifang Contemporary Art Museum.
The rooms
Interiors pair rectilinear timber furniture and geometric rugs with freestanding soaking tubs framing views of the wooded glens.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
The heated indoor pool sits beneath a curved skylight, overlooked by suspended acrobat sculptures and a mezzanine gym.
At the table
Sunlit dining rooms look out into the forest, serving regional Huaiyang and Jiangnan specialties alongside morning buffets.
How it began
Conceived for an international architecture exhibition, the parkland enclave brings together experimental structures designed by more than twenty prominent architects.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
